description Peanut Overview
Peanut is a puppet character performed by American ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, debuting in his stand-up comedy specials during the early 2000s. The character is a purple, furry creature identified as a woozle, distinguished by a tuft of green hair and a single red shoe. Known for a fast-paced, sarcastic personality, Peanut frequently disrupts Dunham's performances by mocking the ventriloquist and interacting with other puppets on stage, such as José Jalapeño. The character is designed for adult audiences and relies on observational and insult comedy.
