When Jim Barber was two-years old the world made him laugh...
                              ...now, forty-some years later, the world laughs at him.  

                           Jim still carries those childhood memories on his shoulders as he shares his unique 
                         approach to life through his creative speaking abilities and unique comedy presentations.  

                    Jim Barber's magical approach to the art of ventriloquism and his incredible vocal skills have 
              earned him the reputation as one of the most original talents performing today, not only on stage for 
      national corporate events and international resorts but also in the voice-over recording market with his 
     multi-octave singing voice and wide-range of comical characters.

    Jim and his family reside full-time in Branson, Missouri where he co-stars in his 
   own show, The Hamner Barber Variety Show and has been featured in major 
   production shows with such artists as Glen Campbell, The Osmonds, 
   Tony Orlando, Eddie Rabbitt, Bobby Vinton, The Smothers Brothers and
    the talented Famous People Players from Toronto, Canada.

      Branson area residents may also recall Jim from his many appearances
       in area benefit shows, master of ceremonies for the premier of the
        Branson area produced film "Gordy," as well as his selection as a
          National Co-Host for the Jerry Lewis "Stars Across America" Labor
           Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy along with Eddie Rabbitt, Alan
             and Merril Osmond.
