About
"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 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.
Age Restriction: 16+
Children under 16 years of age will not be admitted. Because the show is improvised comedy, meaning there is no script, and the puppeteer performers are creating in the moment with suggestions from the audience, the subject matter may venture into adult themes or subject matter. Parental discretion is advised.
