Jim Barber

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.
