“If you’re a Jim Henson buff, this show is not to be missed” (Time Out).
Brian Henson’s Puppet Up!, the world-renowned stage show, beloved by comedy fans at Edinburgh Fringe and San Francisco's Sketch Fest Comedy Festival, combines “the magic of first-rate Henson-style puppetry and the ribald joy of comedy” (San Francisco Chronicle).
Dozens of Henson puppets are brought to life by a cast of world-class puppeteers and comedians from The Jim Henson Company that sing, dance, and improvise throughout this night of outrageous improv and sketch comedy for adults.
Created by legendary puppeteer and award-winning director Brian Henson (Muppet Christmas Carol, Labyrinth) and director-host Patrick Bristow (The Groundlings, Ellen, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Whose Line Is It Anyway?), Puppet Up! is an elaborate, over-the-top theatrical production complete with lights, special effects, sound, and music. “
You cannot imagine the mayhem that erupts when an uninhibited house takes its cues from the gifted lunatics onstage.” (Los Angeles Times).
“Top 10 Best Stage Shows. Grade A.” (Entertainment Weekly)
For adults 16+ only.
