Kick off your weekend with a fun night of live entertainment as Jim Barber takes the stage at the Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 6:00pm! Gather with friends and family for a great evening of laughter, fun, and unforgettable entertainment.
Known for his quick wit, musical talent, and unforgettable ventriloquism, Jim brings a one-of-a-kind show that RV resort audiences love. His cast of hilarious characters — including his six-foot singing partner, Seville — keeps crowds laughing, clapping, and talking about the show long after it’s over.
Jim’s inventive style blends comedy, music, and masterful ventriloquism in a way that feels fresh and fun for all ages. With his multi-octave voice, spot-on impressions, and surprising sound effects, he delivers a performance that’s as impressive as it is entertaining.
A seasoned professional, Jim has headlined major shows in Las Vegas, Reno, and Branson; entertained thousands on cruise ships around the world; and performed for our military through the USO. He has made national TV appearances — including the Late Show with David Letterman, where David introduced him as “one of the most popular acts in Branson, Missouri.”
Jim has also performed at hundreds of corporate events and nearly 2,000 colleges nationwide.
Along the way, Jim has earned some of the industry’s highest honors, including International Ventriloquist of the Year, Comedy Entertainer of the Year, and Showtime’s Funniest Person in Tennessee. He has shared the stage with legendary performers such as Glen Campbell, The Osmonds, Tony Orlando, Bobby Vinton, The Smothers Brothers, Yakov Smirnoff, and many others.
Today, Jim and his wife Melonie are excited to bring their crowd-pleasing show to Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort. With clean comedy, amazing vocal talent, and a warm, personable style, Jim Barber delivers the kind of fun, feel-good entertainment that RV communities look forward to all season long.
