In his 30 year career, Jay Johnson has converted generations of ventriloquist-avoiding Americans with his charm, anarchy and innovative wit. In Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! he deconstructs and demonstrates his lifelong obsession. Jay Johnson is best known for playing the schizophrenic role of Chuck and Bob on the classic television comedy Soap, and is recognized as one of our foremost ventriloquists. In the show, he takes us on a multi-dimensional journey that combines his skills with a parade of characters that range from a subversive monkey to a withering tennis ball. He is a writer, philosopher, comic, poet, and artist. Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! comes to Broadway after receiving rave reviews during its triumphant off-Broadway, Los Angeles, and Boston engagements.
