Todd Oliver & Irving the Talking Dog at ASUMH April 29

If you’ve ever wondered what your dog is really thinking…this show might answer that question!

Join us at the Vada Sheid Community Development Center for Todd Oliver & Irving the Talking Dog, a wildly funny, family-friendly night of comedy, magic, music, and one very opinionated canine.

Todd Oliver—seen on The Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show, and as a Top 4 finalist on America’s Got Talent—brings his one-of-a-kind ventriloquism act to the stage. But let’s be honest…you’re really coming for Irving.

And Irving has thoughts.

As he puts it: “People are always telling dogs ‘Speak!’—so what did you expect?”

Here’s what else (and who else) you’ll meet:

Irving the Talking Dog – equal parts sass and fur
Pops – claims he used to be a tree (we have follow-up questions)
Miss Lilly – sweet, charming, and not afraid to speak her mind
Joey – insists Todd is just there for moral support
Alice the Magic Bunny – keeps disappearing…probably to avoid the chaos
The Bird Buddies – part magic act, part alarm clock

Also worth noting: the animals are real, they’re well cared for, and according to Todd…they all believe they’re in charge of the show. Honestly, that checks out.

Expect big laughs, a little magic, and a lot of “did that dog just say that?” moments. It’s the kind of show where kids laugh, adults laugh, and you may leave reconsidering every conversation you’ve ever had in front of your pet.

Bottom line:
It’s clean, it’s clever, and yes—you will be howling for more.

Don’t miss it. Bring the whole family (and maybe apologize to your dog in advance).
