Ventriloquism On The Radio?

Today I arrived at the theatre to work on a radio comedy show in front of a live audience.  Imagine my delight to discover one of the guests was going to be with a 1970s ventriloquist sensation called Nigel De Saucie and his puppet sidekick Cookie The Dog.

We didn’t put an extra mic out for the dog and I kind of regretted it.  I feels it gave the game away to the audience.  I’m not sure if radio’s quite the right medium for ventriloquism anyway.  Believe me, it won’t catch on.
