Our first-ever ventriloquist, David Salter, joins the podcast to talk Shari Lewis, Green Apples, Cats, and why ventriloquism absolutely belongs on fringe stages. In 2025, David’s solo fringe hit An Evening with Dame Granny Smith won Best Variety Show at the Adelaide Fringe and played to sold-out houses at the Edinburgh Fringe.

And WTF?! This is not a kids show. This delightful apple is here to invite adults to wonder, laugh, and feel, proving fringe theatre is at its best when it’s weird, bold, and unexpectedly moving.
