Jeff Dunham "Identity Crisis Tour"

Jeff Dunham and his crew of comedic cohorts, will bring the 2010 International “Identity Crisis Tour” to the RBC Center Oct. 7th.

Raleigh, NC - Jeff Dunham will bring his 2010 International “Identity Crisis Tour” to the RBC Center Thurs., Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. Dunham has taken the art of ventriloquism to new heights and has transformed it into a cutting-edge comedy experience that has gained worldwide appeal.

Appearing on tour are his crew of comedic cohorts, Walter the Grumpy Retiree, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J, Peanut and Jose Jalapeño. Dunham remains busy halfway through a full 2010 slate of activities and achievements with across-the-board entertainment momentum in virtually every realm of the industry. And as proof of his prominence, Dunham was recently included in the Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers for his second year in a row.

The DVD for his groundbreaking comedy-reality TV series “The Jeff Dunham Show” has posted surging sales since its May 18 release, hitting gold the week of release and then immediately surging to platinum. Within the first month, the DVD has sold more than 100,000 units. His latest sales awards augment his more than 50 platinum certifications already for his three previous DVDs, marking Dunham as an unequaled comedy DVD powerhouse.

Ranked the top-grossing live comedy act in the world for 2009 and in North America for two years in a row, he continues to pack 7,000 to 10,000 seat venues in the U.S. and Canada on his “Identity Crisis” tour. Dunham barnstormed Europe for his second tour there earlier this year to a rapturous reception in Holland, England, Scotland and Ireland, capped by a show at the famed O2 Arena in London. In September, he makes his debut visit to South Africa to appear at arenas in Sun City, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Dunham made his film debut in the Jay Roach movie “Dinner for Shmucks,” featuring Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd, released on July 30. In the movie he introduced Diane, a new member of his comedic family, who will also appear on tour.
