Hey, if you live in the L.A. area, now's the time to scramble for seats at the next presentation of Puppet Up! Every now and then on no visible schedule, the folks at the Henson Alternative Company will pick a weekend and do three performances of their raunchy, X-rated, mostly-improvised puppet extravaganza. That's the Henson operation as in "Jim Henson," and it's now run by his most-able son Brian who keeps the level of creativity and performing up to the family standard.
This is a show for adults and it's often pretty naughty and they serve alcohol and the audiences love it. Part of that is because it takes place on the Henson Lot, which was once the Chaplin Lot and a place where many of your favorite shows were filmed or taped. So the venue is a bonus part of the show. Emcee Patrick Bristow is very, very good and keeping the proceedings fun and funny and the puppet performers are all quite fast and hilarious.
There are two performances on Saturday evening, November 3 and one more late in the afternoon on Sunday, November 4. I already have tickets for something else Saturday night so I'm going on Sunday because this is the kind of thing you can see every time and it's always different. If you wanna see how different a puppet show can be, order tickets A.S.A.P. over on this page.
