America’s Got Talent winner Terry Fator brings "Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice" to Jorgensen Center at UConn Storrs on September 26

America’s Got Talent winner Terry Fator comes to Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts with his Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice show on Saturday, September 26 at 8 p.m. 

Fator is among the world’s most gifted and accomplished ventriloquists, but his talents go far beyond that unique skill. He is a first-rate comedian as well as a world-class singer and mimic, able to perform in more than 200 unique celebrity voices, including Garth Brooks, Karen Carpenter, Sammy Davis, Jr., David Bowie, Meghan Trainor, and Bruno Mars. Onstage he brings to life a hilarious and diverse cast of puppet characters that includes Winston the Impersonating Turtle; Maynard, the World’s Greatest Elvis Impersonator; Elton John; Vicki the Cougar; and Duggie, the annoying neighbor. His performances have been recognized with numerous awards including Las Vegas’s Best Show, Best Impressionist, Best All-Around Performer, Best Family Show and Best Overall Show. 

He is beginning an exciting new chapter in his career to pursue a number of new creative projects - from symphony concerts and television specials to corporate events and an expanded touring schedule across the U.S. and around the world, giving him the ability to bring his unique blend of comedy, music, and ventriloquism to national and international audiences.

"I just always want to entertain. That's it. I never had fans before and now that I do, I just want to keep them smiling and laughing," he notes. “I didn’t see success until I was in my 40s, and I’m determined to make up for all that lost time.”
