Ventriloquist Nina Conti comes to Cork

Ventriloquist Nina Conti comes to Cork

Conti’s former lover and mentor, Ken Campbell, the inspirational English theatre director and actor, who died in 2008, prodded her in the direction of ventriloquism. This is related in her BAFTA-nominated documentary, Her Master’s Voice, which follows her journey across the Atlantic to Vent Haven Museum, in Kentucky, a resting place for the puppets of dead ventriloquists.
