Ronn Lucas meets Bob Monkhouse

American ventriloquist Ronn Lucas's quite amazing performance on The Bob Monkhouse Show, originally broadcast on Monday, 25th February, 1985. You don't often get 15 minutes of this sort of act on TV these days, and especially not after 9pm, but Ronn is undeniably a master of his art - we meet Buffalo Billy and George the Turtle, he creates a sock puppet right before our eyes, he blows up a balloon while singing at the same time, he does the 'small man trapped in a box' trick on the telly decades before Rob Brydon did, and closes things out with just his own hands talking to each other. Way more entertaining than I expected, and well worth watching. (If you're a copyright holder and have any objections, please feel free to contact me. Alternatively, I haven't monetised the video, so you're welcome to do so, and that way everybody wins.)
