This holiday season, laughter gets a brand-new best friend at Grand Country Music Hall! Pets & Giggles, Branson’s hit family comedy and pet show, is welcoming nationally known comedian-ventriloquist Todd Oliver and his talking dog “Irving” for a limited-time holiday engagement guaranteed to leave audiences howling with laughter.

If you’ve ever wondered what a dog might say if it could really talk—get ready to find out! Todd Oliver and his canine companion, Irving, have delighted millions of fans on America’s Got Talent, The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Today Show. Now they’re bringing their hilarious brand of clean, family-friendly fun to Pets & Giggles, adding a one-of-a- kind twist to Branson’s favorite morning show.

“Having Todd Oliver join us is truly our holiday gift to audiences,” said Mike Patrick, General Manager. “His comedy, ventriloquism, and heartwarming connection with Irving are the perfect complement to our show’s mix of laughter, music, and family interaction.”



Todd will begin November 15 and perform through January 18, 2026.

Pets & Giggles, at Grand Country Music Hall, is a laugh-out-loud interactive experience that invites kids and parents on stage to compete in age-appropriate games, hilarious skits, and spontaneous adventures. Audience members become the stars of the show—alongside a cast of clever canines who show off their speed, agility, teamwork, and trust. It’s a celebration of music, laughs, and furry friends that keeps families smiling long after the curtain falls.

“...plenty of full-on laughs and tears of enjoyment from the kids AND parents.”
