About Larry Harris, Better Known as ComicVent

I first got my first taste of Ventriloquism when I was 7 years old and saw Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney in “Stop Look and Laugh” The hit Three Stooges movie.

I got a little Jerry Mahoney doll for Hanukah when I was 11 years old and I have it to this day, which brings me to the present.

After seeing Edgar Bergen performing with his characters, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd in the W.C. Field’s movie, “You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man,” I decided to take up the study of ventriloquism in 1993 and I have never looked back.

As I began to get more and more into Ventriloquism, I began to experiment with what type of characters I wanted to work with. I was interested in the usual “cheeky boy” character. I found myself drawn to characters that we see in our daily lives.

One of my characters, “Dr. Max Kornbaum, Proctologist/Gynecologist,” is the grumpy old Jewish man that is fed up with his life and is ready for a new challenge. Let Dr. Max make a house call at your next event.

Another one of my characters is “Aunt Estelle.” She knows it all and isn’t afraid to tell you. She is a senior citizen always on the prowl for you men. She reminds me of Marie Barone and Estelle Castanza all wrapped into one with just a pinch of Joan Rivers.

My Cartoons on a stick are ready to entertain you. You won’t be disappointed.
 

Testimonial

Larry Harris has been one of Seneca Valley High School PTSA's After-Prom comedy acts for two years as a ventriloquist. The students have enjoyed him and all of his characters. Last year our theme was the 70's and they came dressed in leisure suits which fit right into the program. His roaming act attracts the students and volunteers surrounding them with entertainment. We look forward to the duo again this year.
