Darren Griffin has been a performing ventriloquist since receiving a figure for Christmas in 1974 (when he was eight years old). Since that time he has appeared in thousands of shows. His characters range from a Scottish sea serpent who plays the bagpipes, to a wizard that does actual magic tricks. From a secret agent monkey with a laser banana to a feisty cockatoo who loves suckers. Darren is also a Consulting Hypnotist and Reiki master. He helps clients with stress, pain management, insomnia, smoking cessation and the occasional forensic hypnosis case. He lives in Utah with his wife, two daughters, one son-in-law and three ferrets.
