It comes with a convenient carrying case, making it an ideal choice for performers and collectors alike. ## Description Product description Whether engaging in monocled mayhem or perhaps more civilized repartee', Charlie McCarthy always conducts himself as a proper ventriloquist's gentleman. Perhaps the all-time favorite dummy, Charlie McCarthy was the ever-erudite sidekick of the world renowned, professional ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. Charlie is ready for a night on the town with his black tux and slacks, white dress shirt, black dress socks and shoes, svelte black top-hat, and his trademark eyepiece. We recommend Charlie McCarthy as the beginning of your puppets collection for his classic appearance and his nearly universal charm. This celebrity dummy/doll comes with a set of basic instructions included on “How To Be A Ventriloquist” and a practical, plastic case for storing and transporting Charlie McCarthy to your next amateur or professional show. * Charlie McCarthy measures 30” (76 cm) in length and is ready for immediate use. * The Standard Doll features original specifications from the manufacturer. The mouth is operated via a string affixed to the back of the doll’s head. .com Edgar Bergen once said, "Ventriloquism is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. It was practiced by the ancient Greeks... why, ventriloquists were even found up among the Eskimos!" To which Charlie McCarthy responded, "They weren't found up there, they were chased up there!" Charlie McCarthy makes a timely reappearance here as a 31-inch working Celebrity Ventriloquist Doll. Charlie's immaculate hair and features are painted on, and his transparent plastic monocle is removable, as is his velvet top hat. Beneath a satin-trimmed, black tuxedo coat, Mr. McCarthy sports a white shirt front and white satin bow tie. While not the classic tailcoat he wore in the 1940s, his jacket has a straight hem that does an admirable job of disguising the string that controls his jaw. A hidden string pull at the back of his neck works his jaw; it seemed stiff, but its tendency to pull his head back was easily worked out with some practice at positioning the doll. Charlie would make a terrific gift for your favorite theater buff or aspiring ventriloquist--and he cuts a dashing figure sitting on a bookshelf or bedstead. Simple instructions for the beginning ventriloquist are included. --Julie Ubben ## Features - Approximately 30" tall. - Vinyl head and hands. - Painted eyes and mouth. - Molded hair. - Carrying Case included ## Images ![Charlie McCarthy Ventriloquist Doll - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wNDnvNiYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Q Hi is the magic spell card included** A: No, ours did not come with one. **Q: Hello - this is a new puppet correct? Does it come with the carrying case and the glass eye piece? Thank you.** A: Yes, new puppet and eye piece. Not sure if it is glass tho. There is a plastic carrying case. It's pretty nice. You have to pull a cord for the mouth to move! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied. *by L***N on December 7, 2021* I bought this for my grandson. He loves it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny *by J***L on January 31, 2014* My husband mentioned having a Charlie McCarthy doll when he was a child (40 plus years ago) and how much fun he had with it. I chose this one for him as a gift not really expecting much for the price (as compared to the other more 'deluxe' models). I was extremely pleased with the quality of this one when it arrived, it appeared to be well made and worked smoothly. More importantly, my husband said that it just like the one he used to have. Maybe for the serious ventriloquist, a different model might be better but for the beginner or a nostalgic husband this doll was just right. Worth every penny. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The moth *by E***A on September 27, 2023* Love --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1679089-charlie-mccarthy-ventriloquist-doll](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1679089-charlie-mccarthy-ventriloquist-doll) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
