Paul Zerdin

Over the last few years Paul has been crazily busy on both sides of the Atlantic. 2025 saw Paul do yet another Las Vegas stint at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, following his inaugural Vegas headline residency at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in 2016. After this, in 2017 and 2018, he appeared on spin-off TV shows America’s Got Talent: The Champions and Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions.

Zerdin is regarded as one of the world’s top ventriloquists and made his TV debut in 1993 as the host of GMTV’s Rise and Shine. He then went on to win ITV’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross. Since then, he has appeared on countless TV shows including The World Stands Up (Comedy Central), The Stand-Up Show (BBC One), Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1), Tonight at The London Palladium with Bruce Forsyth and Bradley Walsh (ITV1), Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show (BBC One) and three appearances at The Royal Variety Performance. He is a regular on ITV’s flagship daytime show This Morning and was a frequent guest on BBC Radio 2’s much loved Steve Wright in the Afternoon.

Paul was also a puppeteer on Disney’s classic movie Muppet Treasure Island.

Winning series ten of America’s Got Talent in September 2015, Zerdin and his sidekicks soon went viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views from around the world. Paul is a Gold Star Member of The Inner Magic Circle.

Following on from last year’s sell-out UK tour Paul Zerdin Jaw Drop, Paul has just announced a brand-new show Shut Your Mouth! which will head out on the road from September 2026.
