Nina Conti's Monkey Yearns for Freedom | Live at the Apollo | BBC Comedy Greats

[@nemo227]

I've found other ventriloquists to be funny but Nina Conti is HILARIOUS!

[@rockets4kids]

but with tits it's bloody sinister!

[@edwinov]

You find the wrong things. She is NOT funny.

[@smitrotti]

That last joke was out of this world!

[@christophb2736]

The hilarious part aside, I'm totally baffled by her mastery. She talks with a male voice totally different from her own and you can barely see that she's talking. The part between her putting her arm down and beginning to talk visibly with the monkey's voice is unreal.

[@Liofa73]

The voice is based on her grandfather.

[@e-curb]

@@Liofa73 Or Sean Connery

[@LaurieWilliams-lk8fc]

"She talks with a male voice totally different from her own" - and does it superbly, unlike female newsreaders and reporters who are taught to drop their voices to hideous strained pained low croaks at the end of every sentence.

[@markfox1545]

It's not a male voice.

[@birchthebirch4593]

The voice is her voice with an accent it sounds like a woman .

[@fosterern]

I am 70 years old and have seen many good ventriloquists...but...you are the BEST I have ever seen. Thanks for adding fun to my life Ms. Conti.

[@ExtremeLegend]

Have you seen Jeff Dunham?

[@nroberts7230]

@@ExtremeLegend he's a great ventriloquist, but his political views don't align with everyone's, whereas Nina doesn't use politics in her show :)

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

She's really great i agree, but also look at Celia Muñoz on here.

[@NadaSurferTube]

Ron Lucas is my favorite ventriloquist, but this woman here is absolutely amazing and I'm a new fan!

[@josephsullivan775]

I agree, try googling her her putting masks on and using live audience people as her puppets, it's very weird but hilarious

[@yabbadabbadoo8225]

''Nice and Nasty'' at the same time 😂😂😂 a picture of countless images right there

[@paolocostaimori]

I think it it the first time I see a ventriloquist act with a plot twist

[@gdionwood]

There are ventriloquists, there are awesome ones and then there is Nina Conti in a league of her own! Amazing.

[@stormwildthing5321]

Just seen this clip, i agree, you should also check out early performances of Darcey Lynn from America's got talent,

[@andywatts8654]

Darcey Linn is amazing

[@mysterirhys]

That was incredible! Best bit I’ve seen her do. (And she’s always great)

[@pschroeter1]

A few years ago I watched a bunch of her vids and I'm glad I remembered to come back. I think her ventriloquism is flawless.

[@jcortese3300]

This is the simultaneously the weirdest and most wonderful thing I've ever seen, which I think was her intention ...

[@lucyloose2841]

Nina is genius pure genius

[@piafounetMarcoPesenti]

My favourite ventriloquist.

[@kevnar]

That 1000-monkeys joke was gold.

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

"Locked in a room with a type-writer!" Hilarious analogy!!

[@HansDelbruck53]

Typewriter

[@HansDelbruck53]

@ChristopherWallbank-di9hj Nah. Christopher Sholes invented the typewriter in 1868.

[@HansDelbruck53]

@ChristopherWallbank-di9hj My point was that, since its inception, it has always been the typewriter. The typewriter was never termed the type-writer, except in your imagination. I suppose you'd call your car an auto-mobile.

[@diogenes2550]

@ChristopherWallbank If no one seems to use the punctuation marks anymore then they’re hardly what matters, are they? Pedant.

[@andywatts8654]

Guys come on now

[@ArieH2012]

Nina, you're simply brilliant.. Just discovered you on YT the other day and you and monkey have been brightening up my days! I'm amazed by your mastery, of course, but also the deeper levels of inner psychology you seem to be expressing. You're quite something special! Thanks so much 🙏🙏💓

[@pauljones1350]

Nina and the monkey the best double act I’ve ever seen very funny please put the monkey in charge bad idea

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

The superb balance of wit and raunch

[@lekmirn.hintern8132]

A true genius. (And that's a word I almost never use.)

[@jasonprivately1764]

I truly wish her greater success. Her stable of very humorous characters is astonishing

[@rustycherkas8229]

The most terrifying aspect of this performance is to begin to realise the vastness of the chasm between myself (and those around me) and the spectacular mind (and talent!) of Ms. Conti on the distant side... Loved it!!!

[@jakobbauz]

Wow, this is unbelievably well done. I wonder how many years of practice it took to get to such a level of excellence.

[@sookinator]

Over 9000 hours.

[@e-curb]

You should see how she can make her lips move to look like she's saying one thing, but something else is heard!

[@brownie3454]

like 10

[@dekippiies224]

Finally some adult humour

[@recklesstv2523]

Love me some Nina, very funny.

[@LionTheHeart]

Beautiful mind body and act!

[@SamuelBlack84]

She is so cute😍

[@VonDutch68]

Nina is simply brilliant and has a brain that must function in high resolution.

[@scottmora7033]

Just brilliant. Have watched many time over the years. And still bloody brilliant.

[@martinkelly3724]

She is brilliant and technically the best vent i have ever seen

[@apok1980]

I love how she breaks through the 5th wall.

[@bongopirate0672]

She's talented..... And BEAUTIFUL.

[@dwells37]

That was downright metaphysical!

[@ambalavanant]

Bloody sinister 😂😂

[@AsianSignGuyCena]

I’ve seen this set many times before and it never gets old!

[@doubled1598]

I never knew ventriloquist could be so beautiful!

[@bikebudha01]

This is really hard to pull off, but Nina does it so well...

[@q-tuber7034]

This is the family friendly version of the gag. (So good, either way.)

[@Ryan-tf1uw]

Gold. Absolute gold.

[@steve5825]

This woman is brilliant, what a laugh her wit is incredible

[@jamesm3657]

Totally awesome!!!!!!!!

[@datguycurtis371]

Class act 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@geraldanddebbielyle5064]

Nina is awesome! She is the best!

[@larycrews6350]

I am 75 on Friday and you are so good!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Forgive me, I agree with your comment - Nina _is_ good, but why do older people often feel the need to announce their age?! Humour and sheer talent is surely ageless and timeless?

[@michaelritchie2968]

Ah, this is wonderful!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

She’s awesome! I love that monkey!👌😂👍👉♥️

[@cheongyei]

I have great respect for Nina!

[@ericswain4177]

Now that was brilliant and masterfully done.

[@ronaldmurray7746]

She is both absolutely funny and extremely, beautiful 😊

[@cheeherrr]

That was so good!

[@SuperDeborahjohn]

This is amazing!!

[@sorinromanescu2909]

Just brilliant imagination. Brings ventriloquism to another dimension.

[@ghostoferlock]

very funny, that's wet the pants laughing.

[@paulmcgrath3248]

She's brilliant and so is monkey😅

[@arctangent1]

She is the best ventriloquist ever!

[@GreyJedi73]

She is very clever!

[@westleysickler]

Absolutely amazing and hilarious Omg

[@adamg9173]

Love it

[@NeilJR]

Wonderful!

[@STEPHENATKINSON-u4b]

Ingenious comedy 😃

[@rtyuik7]

the entire time Nina was talking, i could barely see Monkey's lips moving...

[@Dwayne-u7b]

She makes it seem monkey is really alive when she laughs at his jokes ... LOL

[@pachma405]

1:01 It's Louisa the shrugging project manager.

[@willtoon88cat]

[@jackpaperhands]

[@murraymackay2612]

Absolutely brilliant

[@bethmiller9774]

This is no less than brilliant. I wish I could see the entire set.

[@briandeschene8424]

Check out the links to various BBC sites in the YT’s description.

[@falconer15138]

Her answer to cuddles. There is a tinge of her fathers voice in there.

[@tony-bi1hj]

She's actually quite good. 😅😅

[@swainlette]

Just seen you at the Brighton Comedy Garden and needed to see some more! So clever.

[@tomhaskett5161]

She's top class! You actually believe that Monkey is a living being.

[@Mrbonus2]

Amazing.

[@gothnerd887]

3:09 basically the plot of Hello Puppets

[@paulrandig]

You may think, Nina Conti is a ventriloquist. But in reality monkey is e Contiloquist.

[@youngbess1]

Love monkey and you Nina, so funny

[@elantricity]

Omg that’s genius 😂

[@zimiani]

This is genius!

[@lyran8947]

[@solcutta3661]

[@fanfeck2844]

She so right, it is sinister 😂😂😂

[@bluetone11]

I really enjoyed your Monkey Business Nina 🔹💠🔹

[@evanhadkins5532]

That was wonderful

[@airira]

You should all know that Nina is the daughter of famous British actor, Tom Conti.

[@TheLifeEvents]

[@curriehot]

Nina is the Monkeys nuts😂

[@markroberts171]

Monky cracking me up here no escape

[@RocknRo11Vox110]

Very Clever.

[@ciaranwalsh9963]

Genius!

[@emanuelmota7217]

After watching her videos for years I still don't know who's funnier - Nina or the Monkey.

[@martinkyle1463]

I love Nina Conti and Monkey. Where are they now?

[@officefenix5524]

Bravo

[@garyowen9044]

That’s hilarious!

[@MRJK87.]

Imagine if Jeff Dunham did this with peanut.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

Peanut would totally try and do that! Well within his character!

[@walterengler5709]

Not bad. Why do I want to see the Monkey and Peanut having a conversation now.....

[@douglasroyce5631]

Nina Conti is absolutely brilliant .

[@nolangillentine773]

I'm amazed to admit that actually messed with my mind a little bit...
