My overall impression

On the show’s Fringe page, Hannah Leskosky’s three puppets are listed as performers with their own HFF pages, as they should be, because there’s something of an even more magical fourth wall that goes up during such a fun and well executed ventriloquism show which anthropomorphizes the puppets, and they settle into our minds and hearts as full blown beings. Leskosky’s comedic edge is hilariously self depreciating as her character guests prove less than cooperative as she’s trying to put on a show about the history of women in ventriloquism (a thread she’s pulls off with great success). I throughly enjoyed the show. I only wish it were longer (I’m not sure I’ve ever said that about a show) because the history she presented was important and very interesting, she is so talented, and her characters so funny that there’s likely much more behind the curtain to mine, and I sincerely hope she does. Highly Recommended – Richard Lucas, Asylum Judge
