“Jim Henson knew his place.” 😂

[@rishic6701]

She has immense talent. She makes it look so easy switching back and forth between monkey and her. Salute🙏

[@emailalpha6437]

I love how she laughs at almost everything Monk says.

[@CosmosChill7649]

Adds to the bloody illusion.

[@anyscaleclassics6880]

Ok, Im a bit late to the Nina fan club. AWESOME ventriloquist, brilliant comedien, fantastic actress (the character she has produced for the monkey is perfect). This particular routine really highlights her brilliance. Even when she completely exposes the mechanics of it all, its still somehow totally convincing.

[@theblanketfortcohort7332]

I only discovered her today lol

[@Treviscoe]

Me too, but she's absolutely incredible. I wish I'd discovered her years ago.

[@nsdesu]

She is so freaking brilliant and beautiful

[@zarkorandjelovic6945]

It's not fair!

[@MateoKupstysChica]

this is one of the most amazing performances I've seen! the way she did the meta-reference was majestic!

[@shadowjack8]

Second time I've found this tonight. I laughed just as loud. What a fresh look at the art.

[@alanleizerman]

pure talent and super creative!

[@superviewer]

Talented in many ways. I can't imagine the learning curve of this skill.

So is Nina.

[@WeeWyllie]

Brilliant ... head and shoulders above the rest.

[@miguelBT2809]

She’s clever using that particular accent because it leans into speaking thru the teeth.🧠

[@paulgarthhypnotherapy9983]

Sounds like Sean Connery.

Some members of the audience looked so confused about the whole thing.

monk can't speak the bilabials /p/ /b/ but Nina is brilliantly using this particular accent to get around with it.

[@druss69harad61]

Underrated

[@williamrobinson7435]

This is a great version of the sketch. A few will have picked up on the Jim Henson reference. Wonderfully capable to be freaky at the end there. 🤣🌟👍

[@jordanpeakofficial]

what an incredible routine :)

She's a master of the game. Totally in awe...

[@bunpeishiratori5849]

Have you ever noticed how she sometimes forgets to move her lips when SHE's talking?

[@rscosworthfan]

better than paul zerdin though he moves his lips when hes not meant too lol

Maybe I was enjoying the comedy and not looking for flaws but I saw nothing. If you could point out the actual time, I would agree. Otherwise?

Hi Nina, i find your act absolutely amazing, what an incredible talent you have , so entertaining and i must add you're very beautiful which leaves me glued to to the screen for hours on end, please never stop.

[@lauraradigan4114]

That was hilarious.

[@colinmayes5892]

She is brilliant

[@roberthoffhines5419]

LOVED the flip gag at the end, like a good plot twist. Is it permissible in the ventriloquist world to do that?

[@wwerules000]

Why not, she's pretending to be the monkey, like it takes her over, actually good how she can change her voice like that.

[@jm123456789101112]

Brilliantly funny and gorgeous...

[@kiwimax4659]

"Stop pretending it's not your FAULT!!!" 😮

[@nickdryad]

Best thing is you can laugh at your own jokes.

[@harrismiller1948]

Haven't heard much from her for a while, how is she doing?

[@michaelsullivan9500]

she's so hilarious and such a beauty to be a ventriloquist and such a sense of humor to make fun of herself and call herself names and laugh at it and make fun of it as long as she just doesn't take it to heart she is so funny. And I hope she sees this I would love to see her and Jeff Dunham do something together with their puppets because that would be hilarious.

[@Makadidu]

Has to be one of the best female comediennes around!

[@BenjtheMan]

hawt

[@Bikerguy5845]

What a babe ❤❤❤

[@TheAntHar1]

4:47 Wonder if Nina realised what she just said?

[@joshybratwurst1398]

Way better than Jeff Dunham

[@michaelkunz1948]

you are absoluly right,,,,,

[@TARS_0392]

Not really, but way hotter for sure! ;D

[@bergman6581]

She is way better than Jeff Dunham. Dunham always repeats the same racist jokes with variations.

[@metazare]

Don't lose your pearls when you clutch them ya prude.

[@WeeWyllie]

Jeff Dunham is very good, but Nina works on an entirely different level. Jeff's humor is obvious and simple, if entertaining, and even a child would find it funny. On the other hand Nina's approach is cerebral, extremely clever, and she skates "close to the edge of the ice" in terms of the audience's requirement to suspend its belief. This last aspect owes its success to her superlative acting talents ... to wit, you easily slide into the general notion that the monkey is an entirely separate being, and is more-or-less in charge, and that Nina is hearing its remarks for the first time, and is embarrassed by them. Hers is an extraordinary talent indeed.

[@WATL]

Does she have any social media?

[@yusefendure]

Why doesn't she have at least a million views per video?? She destroys damn near every other comic out here; male OR female!

[@aprilthompson3041]

You’re voice, you are so possessed!

[@jamess5415]

Omg she is gorgeous

[@unclecreepy4185]

I haven’t seen her do that bit where she becomes Monk and I agree it’s a freaky thing to watch her talk like that.

[@danb.3397]

Same old routine but I still laugh

[@matthewbishop8395]

this is from years ago. Shes done so much more stuff since then

[@davidbeddis632]

Fantastic body and great puppies

[@davidtombs7385]

She certainly has.

[@Bear-Ur2ez]

A talented and sexy looking woman.

[@stuartbritton7408]

Don't say that! She probably married. Don't want something you can't have. It's not healthy.

[@KhanivoreQniba]

I fancy her SO much.....

[@erikpetrie637]

She makes it look like she's actually talking to Monk as if he were another person. I hope in the future she introduces new characters

[@Zumcho]

Jim Henson knew his place 🤣

[@q-tuber7034]

Dying 😆

[@matthewgarettyconnorlinkme3429]

Spoiler------ -- - The portion where NC uses Monkey’s voice without the prop makes me think of when Chucky possesses Nica in Cult Of Chucky.

[@dpostuk]

that's a big spolier... great ending to a rather interesting movie. low budget but fun. It puts the new one to shame. terrible movie.
