"Lastly, I would be remiss in my duty to humanity if I did not send you in the direction of Arlene’s Grocery on January 14, for that is the date one of my favorite neo-vaudevillians, ventriloquist Carla Rhodes is debuting her new full-length show, aptly named “The Continuing Story of Carla Rhodes.” In my view, Rhodes is the Savion Glover of vents, almost single-handedly injecting a notoriously uncool and backward-looking performance branch with a badly-needed kick in the ass. Don’t get me wrong; Carla is PLENTY old school — but she also has at least one of her dainty feet planted firmly in the current century, or at least the tail end of the last one (which is more than you can say about just about any other vent). Carla is, in short, a rock and roll ventriloquist. The current piece purports to tell her life story, but we won’t be stinted on bits with her favorite “partners”, including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and another dirty old Englishman, Cecil Sinclaire. She also promises to unveil her new rock band The Extravaganzas and a new character with the enticing name Herschel Ragbottoms. Unless I have pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism, I will be there."
— Trav S.D., The Villager
“Rock and Roll ventriloquist” Carla Rhodes, on the other hand, is an act so unique that she’s really in a class all by herself. Here’s the best comparison I can think up: imagine if the lovechild of Shari Lewis and Mick Jagger was raised by David Bowie. Can you even wrap your head around that?
Shari Lewis... Edgar Bergen... Carla Rhodes?!

THE CONTINUING STORY OF CARLA RHODES
"The Continuing Story of Carla Rhodes" is an absolutely splendid show featuring rock'n'roll ventriloquist Carla Rhodes. The show follows the thread of Carla's intricate and dysfunctional (emphasis on fun!) life story.
How did a lil' ol' ventriloquist from Kentucky befriend stuffed effigies of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards? How on earth did she tread through the corn fields to make it to New York City? Why is her hair so fabulous? And why does she hang with a cantankerous 1920's gentleman named Cecil Sinclaire? Will she go against all odds, throw the naysayers aside and achieve ventriloquial superstardom?
Find out by checking out this extravaganza.
Speaking of EXTRAVAGANZAS...
Not only will you be thrilled and delighted by ventriloquial feats and clever quips, but your socks will also be rocked by her new band THE EXTRAVAGANZAS (Joe Vincent on Drums, Pemberton Roach on Bass and Steve Dawson on Guitar).
THE CONTINUING STORY OF CARLA RHODES.... Featuring ventriloquist CARLA RHODES, music by THE EXTRAVAGANZAS and special guests CECIL SINCLAIRE, MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS, and introducing... HERSCHEL RAGBOTTOMS.
