Radit Vent

Radit Vent, whose full name is Raditya Adipramono, is an Indonesian ventriloquist and stand-up comedian born on December 18, 1983, in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. By profession he is an English lecturer at Universitas Islam Indonesia in Yogyakarta. He first gained public attention as a finalist on Indonesia's Got Talent in 2010, and around two years later a friend suggested he try combining his ventriloquism with the emerging stand-up comedy scene. He made his open mic debut through the Stand Up Indo Jogja community and found that audiences responded well to acts built around his puppets, which include Joni, Pakde Sukur, an orangutan named Otan, and Lola, his best known character. In 2016 Radit became a finalist on Stand Up Comedy Indonesia season 6 on Kompas TV, the first ventriloquist to compete in the show's history, though he was eliminated at the top 12 stage. He continues to serve within Indonesia's ventriloquist community while performing stand-up sets built around his puppet characters.
