A sell-out hit at the 2007 Melbourne Comedy Festival, Henson puppeteers are unleashed in this outrageous and very spontaneous show, featuring over 60 original Jim Henson puppets – a motley group of characters brought to life by a cast of six world-class puppeteers of The Jim Henson Company in a night of off the cuff comedy. Anything goes as Puppet Up!’s cupboard of technicolor puppets – animals, humans, aliens, hot-dogs, and crabs – treat the audience to a puppet comedy variety show. This production delivers “two shows in one” as the hilarious puppet action is projected live on large screens flanking the stage, while the puppeteers race around below – displaying their skills in full view of the audience. It’s Whose Line Is It Anyway meets Saturday Night Live meets The Muppets.
