Audiences often say Zany is outshined by his cast of ventriloquist characters which include a talking dinosaur named Darryl, the world’s only Stupidosaurus, and a purple-haired, blue-skinned Muppet-like character named Noodle who would rather be surfing.Steve Zany enjoys his shows so much, the parent of two children and a self-professed clown, says he is having trouble growing up.
