Ron’s hilarious blend of comedy, magic and songs will keep you on the edge of your seat. He’s professional, clean, funny, and involves the audience in his show. He’ll be remembered long after he performs for your group!

By the age of nine Ron knew that he wanted to become an entertainer. On Sunday nights, his family loved to watch The Ed Sullivan Show – a legendary TV variety show featuring performances by singers, comedians, dancers, ventriloquists, and circus acts. Ron was inspired to become a ventriloquist by watching Willie Tyler & Lester on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Ron studied the art forms of ventriloquism and magic while serving in the United States Army. It wasn’t long before he’d put together an act called "Dummy-N-Me". During his 10 years of service, Ron was stationed in Korea, Germany and Japan, and also served as a Drill Sergeant at Fort Benning, Georgia. After the military, Ron took his show on the road. He now provides performances for events nationwide!

Ron’s show motivates and entertains clients from all over the United States as he takes away the stress of everyday life and creates a relaxing and fun adventure through laughter.

If you have a special event coming up where you are responsible for it’s success, then you have come to the right place. Ron Johnson will provide your group with a show your guests will remember.
