The upcoming entry in the Craig Concert Association’s season promises a doggone good time.

Todd Oliver & Friends will perform Saturday evening in the Moffat County High School auditorium, offering a night of enjoyment for the entire family.

Oliver’s act features talking dog Irving, whose wacky canine thoughts are brought out by his owner, a ventriloquist who has been on multiple talk shows and was a finalist on “America’s Got Talent.”

Oliver spoke to the Daily Press Tuesday about the art of throwing one’s voice.

“Ventriloquism has never been overdone, it’s never been burnt out,” he said, noting that it’s an ability that allows for all different styles, such as contemporaries Jeff Dunham and Terry Fator.

Oliver’s act — a favorite in Branson, Missouri — features more than just a man and his furry companion, though. Besides a cast of what he affectionately calls “wooden knuckleheads,” his musical group, The Smiling Eyes, also plays a considerable part in the show.

“There’s a lot of audience participation, very family-friendly, and it’s just a rocking good time,” Oliver said.

In the middle of a 71-city tour, Oliver said he enjoys appearing in smaller towns and playing to a crowd that features people of every age.

“My favorite sound in the world is kids and their parents laughing at the same time,” he said.
