Slick routine ... great ventriloquist .... Thank you for posting this.

Ventriloquism is my favorite type of entertainment. Wish I was half that good.

Russo Lewis! So much talent!

Russ always had great hair and a fantastic smile.

Classic Ventriloquism from a true master!

Wow, great clip.

Thanks for posting this Ron ..

How in the world did someone get this clip? It's from Trumps Castle, Casino Showroom, Atlantic City, 1987, City Lights Revue. Thanks for posting Ron.

Russo, I got this video from Bob May. He had it on an old VHS tape. I digitized it, gave him a copy and kept one for myself. Great work!!!

Russo I love this clip ! Terrific !

That maker sounds correct. Back in the late 70's Russ told me that Brooklyn was very heavy. He'd considered having a less heavy figure made but I don't think that ever happened.

Love it!

Saw his skit recently on Ed Sullivan who was he? never heard of him, is he still around?

Master Russo, I love your unique style!! I also admire how you have always used Brooklyn Birch for so many years! The only figures I've seen that resemble Brooklyn are Rene Zendahas. Is that who created your beloved sidekick?

Folks, I notice some of you don't have a reply button under your name. This is a result of changes that were made on google plus. Even if you don't use google plus it prevents people on youtube from replying to you directly because google owns youtube. So, you have to actually go to plus.google.com/settings. Up at the top you'll see two things. 1. Who Can Send You Notifications (change this to anyone) 2. Who Can Comment On Your Public Posts (change this to anyone) Once you make that change, come back here and you should see a reply under your name. Whoila! You're fixed.
