Press Release
JEFF DUNHAM BRINGING NEW CHARACTERS AND HIS ALL NEW “CONTROLLED CHAOS” SHOW TO THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24
Worldwide Premiere of “Controlled Chaos” the TV Special on 9/25
AUSTIN, Texas –Jeff Dunham, the man whose standup concerts rule the comedy world, is bringing Austin fans brand new laughs and hilarious additions to his famed troupe of sidekicks. Meet the two new Dunham characters, Achmed Junior, the not-as-equally skeletal son of Achmed the Dead Terrorist and Little Jeff, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself, at the Frank Erwin Center Friday, Feb. 24! The fresh show from the arena-packing comedian will make its global debut Sept. 25 as his fourth Comedy Central one-hour TV special. “Controlled Chaos” will bow in North America and make an unprecedented simultaneous premiere in over a dozen territories worldwide.
Dunham’s sidesplitting performances have made him the top grossing live comedian in North America for three consecutive years as well as the last two worldwide. His ever-growing legion of devoted fans that flock to his shows year after year will meet the newest additions to his suitcase posse. Achmed the Dead Terrorist has to contend with his rebellious offspring, Achmed Junior, aka A.J. Meanwhile, Peanut has decided that he’s tired of being Jeff’s sidekick and has taken up ventriloquism with his own character, Little Jeff. More hilarity than ever will ensue as the never-before-seen characters unleash their own havoc on stage.
The comic has taken his craft to unequalled heights of success in recent years. He currently boasts 7 million DVDs sold of his three previous specials and Comedy Central series, a New York Times Book Review bestseller list autobiography, “All By My Selves,” ratings records for his past TV shows, a briskly selling line of more than 100 items of merchandise and a live show that fills top venues in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia to rapturous receptions and standing ovations nightly.
