Todd Oliver & Friends are traveling the country with this outrageous comedy that has everyone talking.
“I’ve never laughed so hard in my life, amazing!” “Incredibly funny!” “A great act!”
“Wonderful, the highlight of our trip to Branson!”
These are just some of the comments heard regularly after the show.
Audience participation and personalizing the show for special events is a part of Todd’s proven successful formula, which has made his show a strong consistent draw in top entertainment venues across America. His warm friendly personality creates a “magical family chemistry” with a cast of characters who along with Irving and Lucy, you’ll also meet Pops, a crazy confused old timer; Miss Lilly, his lifelong love; and Joey, the loveable bad boy.
Todd Oliver’s humor is situational and contemporary, resulting in a clean universal comedy that makes you feel good and leaves you wondering, “How do those funny dogs talk?”
