Lachlan Werner is a boundary-pushing ventriloquist, clown, and live artist, whose singular puppet work blends sharp comedy, theatrical risk, and queer performance.
Trained at École Philippe Gaulier and a regular collaborator with the Fool’s Moon Collective, he brings a rare combination of technical virtuosity and unpredictable stagecraft that makes him ideal for festivals, corporate show cases, and creative brand events.
Lachlan Werner offers a memorable, conversation-starting performance that elevates corporate programming with inventive storytelling, audience interaction, and a visually striking theatrical presence – especially suited to creative industries, arts festivals, and events seeking bold, original entertainment.

Described as the “funniest new ventriloquist on the block” by The Telegraph, he was the runner up for LGBTQ+ New Comedian Of The Year 2022 and a nominee for Chortle Variety Act Award, BBC New Comedy Award, ISH Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Award, Off-West End Cabaret Award, VAULT Comedy Breakthrough Award.
His debut solo show ‘Voices Of Evil’ has been a total sell out hit at Soho Theatre (2022/23), Edinburgh Fringe 2023, VAULT Festival, Brighton Fringe, London Clown Festival, winner of ReviewsHub Best Show Award, and nominated for a Soho Playhouse New York Award. He can frequently be seen yelling at himself with a small squishy witch.
His latest show, WonderTwunk is about to embark on its first international tour.
