About Me

A Platypus. A ventriloquist. One bad Australian accent.

HELLO I'M SILE MICHAELA!

I'm a ventriloquist, comedian, and actress whose work is rooted in a profound desire to make people laugh. Mister Dimples is my platypus puppet and comedy partner. He is supposed to be Australian. He sounds like he is from Ohio. Neither one of us is entirely sure how that happened. Together we've performed across the United States and internationally, including Wales, UK, and have built a growing audience. Please join us and bring laughter into the world.

DOING WHAT I LOVE

Sile (Sheila) and Mister Dimples have been bringing laughter, heart, and one very bad Australian accent to audiences across the US and internationally — from the stages of North Carolina to the comedy clubs of Boston and the valleys of Wales. Mister Dimples is supposed to be Australian. He sounds like he's from Ohio. We're working on it. Together Sheila and Dimples deliver a unique blend of ventriloquism, crowd work, and comedy that leaves audiences laughing, thinking, and occasionally questioning everything they thought they knew about platypuses.
