C
arla Rhodes (born
16 April 1982, died ???) is a rock 'n' roll ventriloquist
& comedienne. Her partners in crime are effigies of
rock'n'roll legends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. She
also works with a cantankerous 1920's gentleman named Cecil
Sinclaire.
Carla caught the ventriloquial bug at the age of 8 while
growing up in Kentucky. She started performing regularly
by the age of 13 and as a teenager was mentored by her biggest
influence,
Shari Lewis. After moving to Tennessee to attend college,
Carla recorded a full length comedy music album in Nashville.
"I Love Animals," a cut off of "Carla's Golden Hits,
vol 6," got rotation on the Dr.
Demento's "Top Funny Five," eventually placing
at number two. With a Mass Communications degree under one
arm, and a puppet under the other, Carla then escaped to
New York City.
She currently appears at alternative performance establishments
and rock clubs all over New York City and Brooklyn (such
as Joe's Pub, Le Poisson Rouge, Highline Ballroom, Issue
Project Room). Print credits include New
York Magazine, Paper
Magazine, Penthouse
Forum, the New
York Post, Time
Out New York and the Village
Voice. Tee Vee credits include appearances on FUSE,
The
Learning Channel and a shout-out on the Late
Show With David Letterman.
Described in The
Pulse as a "corkscrew-haired waif with painted red lips
and spitfire moxie," and recently dubbed by New
York Magazine as one of the "Ten
New Comedians That Funny People Find Funny," Carla
Rhodes is certainly bringing ventriloquism screaming into
the 21st century.
