    Ventriloquist and Comedian Al Getler to Perform at Rotary District 6690 Conference

    A return to his first Newark, Ohio Rotary Club

    It’s always special to perform in front of a great audience—but it’s downright extraordinary when that audience is made up of fellow Rotarians.

    I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I’ll be performing at the Rotary District 6690 Conference on Saturday, April 26, 2025 in Newark, Ohio. This isn’t just any show—it’s a heartfelt return to my Rotary roots. Newark is home turf for my very first Rotary Club, and it’s where my journey with this incredible organization began.

    Returning Home to Rotary

    As a proud Paul Harris Fellow and past president of a Rotary Club—soon to serve as president again—I know what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself. Rotary has given me lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, and a chance to serve with purpose. So when I step onto the stage in Newark, I’ll be doing so not just as a performer, but as a Rotarian among Rotarians.

    A Familiar Stage, A Fresh Show

    The performance will take place at Cherry Valley Lodge, a venue I’ve had the pleasure of performing at several times throughout my career. It’s always been a favorite of mine, and I couldn’t be more excited to return—this time to share some laughs with people who already share my values and service spirit.

    Laughter with Purpose

    My show is packed with clean, high-energy comedy, clever characters, and interactive audience fun. If you’ve never seen a ventriloquist act that involves audience members laughing with and sometimes at themselves, you’re in for a ride. Some of my fan-favorite characters may even make an appearance… and yes, Floyd is still in the fifth grade and still flirting with your tablemate.

    See You in Newark!

    This year’s District 6690 Conference promises to be an energizing, uplifting, and engaging experience for all attendees. I’m honored to be part of the lineup and can’t wait to bring a bit of joy, a few surprises, and a lot of laughs to a room full of people who exemplify “Service Above Self.”

    If you’re attending the conference, make sure to say hello—and brace yourself for a show that’s part comedy, part nostalgia, and 100% Rotary spirit.
