Description

Ventriloquist Queen: a true African Queen. Her Majesty Queen Angelique-Monet of Eti-Oni, Nigeria, dubbed 'Ventriloquist Queen' (BBC News) and her puppet Milk The Cow host a historic vaudeville interactive theatre piece incorporating ventriloquism, music, storytelling, and comedy, celebrating Her Majesty's African and American heritage. The backdrop is Oloni Palace at Eti-Oni, the oldest cocoa plantation in Nigeria, during the Royal Cocoa Festival where dignitaries will attend. The former beauty queen and HBCU Living Legend helped shape modern day ventriloquism, and plans to show her humble beginnings and current role as a modern African Queen.

She is poised, gentle with the kids, and sincere. Her strength is in the storytelling and the messages.

The Quinntessential Review (4/5 stars) 19 days ago

Enlightening and enlivening, I heartily recommend ‘Ventriloquist Queen: A True African Queen’ to one and all – I had a blast without a kid in tow – I imagine it would be even better with one or two giggling and dancing away beside you.
