"Barb Phoenix, a vent from Canada, is a really fun, spunky, youthful lady.”

Dennis Smith, Special to The Burlington Post

"Oregano the Bear is a popular puppet who likes entertaining at birthday parties with his pal, Barb Phoenix.”

- see the entire article at "www.insidehalton.com - Barb Phoenix.”

Mary Helwig-Hall

Barbs puppet characters have charm and a mischievous sense of humour and fun. Oregano and Friends are so natural, that you forget Barb is even there until she has to reprimand one of them for their sauciness. Barb and her crew of characters would be a great addition to parties for children and adults events alike, including staff retreats and conventions."

Barbara Baxter, Ventriloquist, Author

Barb Phoenix is really someone special!. She has some charitable causes, especially supporting "Travelling Tikko" (who, coincidentally, is a small bear). Tikko travels about the globe supporting Autism Awareness - both Barb's give a "shout-out" to Christine & Dorian Poe & Tikko, the bear

Vent Haven Museum, Kentucky

Many thanks to Barb Phoenix for adopting sweet little "Walter Ego". This adorable dummy was made by Vent Haven advisor Alan Semok around 1974. Walter Ego was used by Charles Ludlam in a play that he wrote entitled, The Ventriloquist's Wife. The dummy was donated to Vent Haven in 1988 by Ludlam's estate. You can see Walter Ego on display in the main building.

As has already been said above "Barb Phoenix is really someone special!". I have been following Barb and her "unbelievable talents" for years and years now. I will not even attempt to put into words the greatness of this "artiste" !

I could go "on and on" about the excellency of Oregano And Friends, (especially their classic YouTube videos), but suffice it to say that if you have not caught her act, you have missed out on one the greatest performers of all time !
