Dunham, who received a ventriloquist dummy as a childhood gift, has been ranked among some of the highest-paid comedians. He's amassed 3.6 million YouTube subscribers and over a billion online views, according to promoters. He's known for characters such as the eager and curious Peanut, curmudgeonly Walter and redneck Bubba J.

He has long created characters "who could say what nobody else would dare," and they're known to share some pretty brash takes, show promoters said in a news release.
