Comedy and Music at its BEST!

Are you looking for an entertainer who can please a variety of audiences?

An entertainer who is sure to provide an evening of great music and a lot of fun to your venue?

Then you are looking for Don Dunham!!

With Donny D and his friend Durwood on stage there is never a dull or quiet moment. When the audience isn’t singing along with his music, they are sure to laugh at his jokes.

Don has incorporated two puppets into his act:

  • Durwood, his main buddy, and…
  • Bobby, who is better suited for the small folks

At present, Don showcases his talents on guitar, bass and vocals, and includes music from classic rock, country, blues standards, comedy and children’s genres – and a nice mix of comedic relief to keep things moving and keep the audience entertained.

With a complete package – music, comedy, his own lights and P.A. system – you are sure of a great night with little effort on your part!
