The Lakeland Performing Arts Association, which has been bringing great musical entertainment to Minocqua for 33 years, is now bringing a comedy show, featuring the ventriloquist Todd Oliver and his talking dogs, to the Lakeland Union High School Auditorium on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. His appearance is part of the Lakeland Performing Arts Association Concert Series and is sponsored in part by grants from the Wisconsin Arts Board and Northern Arts Council.

Todd Oliver, nationally known for his amazing real-life talking dogs and hilarious comedy, presents an all new show - Todd Oliver and Friends - filled with his canine companions Irving and Lucy, plus a "real" cast of characters like Pops and Miss Lilly, and his outstanding Smiling Eyes Band. There is a lot of audience participation, fun music and good clean comedy, the association said in a press release announcing the performance.

Oliver is known worldwide and has been seen on "America's Got Talent," "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," "The tonight Show with Jay Leno," and "The Late Show with David Letterman," who proclaimed Todd as one of the top ventriloquists in the world.

As a featured performer on Branson's Showboat Branson Belle since 1998, Oliver has recently moved to the Haygood Family's Americana Theatre where he opened a new show in 2013.
