Forget everything you think you know about ventriloquism. Shut it neatly away in a box along with that fat little green bird who wished he could fly and that mangy Scotty dog that used to spit a lot. Because throwing your voice has just come of age in this West End premiere. Following the Tony Award-winning success of his Broadway debut last year, Jay Johnson will be performing The Two and Only. Accompanying this gifted showman and master storyteller on stage for an autobiographical blend of comedy and theatrical story-telling is a wonderfully eclectic cast of characters including Darwin, a rare breed of jazz monkey who was born in a trunk in a comedy club, Spaulding, a tennis ball retired from the game after a particularly rough Andy Rodick match, and Bob, a product of the Hollywood star system and Jay's famous co-star from the 1970's international hit comedy, SOAP.
