Jeff Dunham to tour South Africa in June

Dunham has, of course, plenty of help on stage: his entourage of signature characters who are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence. There's Walter, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely redneck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from south of the border; and the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
