Every year on the anniversary of his first headline show in Las Vegas, ventriloquist Terry Fator adds a new character to his show.

But to celebrate his 10th anniversary, Fator went big, adding five new characters to a brand new show.

Willie Nelson, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Stevie Wonder and Justin Bieber will now join Fator onstage, in puppet form, of course.

There’s no word on if those puppets will join Fator during his show at Northern Quest Resort and Casino on Friday, but there’s no doubt he’ll have a few fan favorites with him perhaps including Winston the Impersonating Turtle, Maynard Thompkins, the self-proclaimed world’s best Elvis Presley impersonator, Walter T. Airdale, a country-singing presidential candidate, Emma Taylor, a 12-year-old girl who loves to take selfies, and Monte Carlo, a Las Vegas hopeful.

Fator has been headlining his own show at the Mirage since winning “America’s Got Talent” in 2007.

Over the years, Fator has won numerous Las Vegas awards, including best show and best all around performer.
