Get ready for an evening of impressions, comedy, music, and ventriloquism when legendary Las Vegas headliner Terry Fator brings Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice to San Francisco’s Curran Theatre on Sunday, May 16, 2027, at 7:00 PM PT. This 90-minute stage spectacular showcases the distinctive blend of character work, vocal impressions, comedy, and ventriloquism that has made Fator a familiar name to audiences across the country.

Designed as a road show, Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice brings Fator’s collection of memorable characters together for a fast-moving performance filled with variety and humor. Rather than relying on a single style of entertainment, the production moves between impressions, comedy routines, musical moments, and interactions with Fator’s puppet characters, creating an evening with plenty of changing personalities and unexpected turns.

Among the featured characters is Winston the Impersonating Turtle, known for his playful approach to vocal impressions. Country music fans will recognize Walter T. Airdale, while Julius draws inspiration from the legendary Apollo Theater. The lineup also includes Duggie, a perpetual slacker and stoner whose laid-back personality provides another comedic contrast, along with Vikki the Cougar. Rounding out the featured cast is Maynard Tompkins, billed as the world’s greatest Elvis impersonator.

The variety of characters gives the show its distinctive rhythm. Each personality brings a different voice, comic style, and perspective to the stage, allowing Fator to demonstrate the range of his performance skills throughout the evening. Audiences can expect a combination of recognizable impressions, character-driven comedy, musical entertainment, and classic ventriloquism.

For fans who have followed Terry Fator’s career in Las Vegas or discovered his work through television and live performances, Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice offers an opportunity to see several of his best-known characters together in one production. It also provides newcomers with an introduction to the creative style that has defined his stage career.

The performance takes place at the historic Curran Theatre in San Francisco on Sunday, May 16, 2027, at 7:00 PM PT. With its mix of comedy, vocal impressions, music, and ventriloquism, Pure Imagination: Once Upon a Voice promises a lively night of character-driven entertainment for audiences looking for a theatrical experience with plenty of personality.
