Jeff Dunham - Arguing with Myself (DVD, 2006)

Jeff Dunham proves that he has terrific comedic range in his album Arguing with Myself. Starting with a very funny stand-up routine without his ventriloquist dummies, he puts the humor pedal to the metal and never lets up. His willingness to handle original, edgy material through the use of his "friends" is especially hilarious, particularly when he stops the show while one of the audience leaves to go to the restroom.

Dunham brings a variety of stereotypes to life through characters like the old curmudgeon Walter, his black "manager" Sweet Daddy D, redneck Bubba J, Jose Jalapeno-on-a-Stick, and, of course, the insanity of Peanut. The interaction he has with the audience is stunning and extremely entertaining.

Arguing with Myself includes a bleeped track which enabled us to watch the DVD with our four-year-old daughter. The dummies and comedy material held her attention throughout. It is wonderful entertainment for the whole family, although some of the subject matter may be difficult for some. I HIGHLY recommend Jeff Dunham and this DVD.
