Nina Conti

Nina Conti is a British comedian, actress, and ventriloquist best known for her sharp, improvisational comedy and her use of puppets, especially her signature puppet "Monkey." She is celebrated for bringing a fresh, self-aware, and often subversive style to the art of ventriloquism. Nina has appeared in a range of live stand-up shows and comedy festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and has also featured on British television in shows like "Live at the Apollo" and "QI."

Beyond her comedy, Nina Conti has acted in several TV series and films, and she was the subject of the BAFTA-nominated documentary "Her Master’s Voice," which explored her journey in ventriloquism after the death of her mentor, Ken Campbell. She is recognized for her quick wit, her blend of dark and silly humor, and her unique ability to make ventriloquism feel modern and relevant.
