Cutting satirical shadow puppet comedy,
providing cultural critique as only cardboard on a stick can.
Running Time: 1hr
More cutting comedy from The Great Puppet Horn, providing cultural critique as only cardboard stuck to a stick can. In a mere 60 minutes hundreds of puppets are animated at frenetic speed to tell tales bizarre and comic through the monochrome glory of the shadow screen. As discarded politicians fly by your ears delight in the shadowy characters who speak, beat-box and pole-dance for your entertainment.
'Scathingly funny... this giggle-fest gets my five stars' – THE SUNDAY TIMES
With a constantly changing collection of sketches and short stories The Great Puppet Horn provides up-to-the-minute commentary on everything from the global financial crisis to Take That, usually at the same time. From English syntax to budget cuts nothing is safe from two guys and a stack of puppets. This is South Park meets News Night with a whole load of cardboard.
'Worthy of a TV show ... quick, clever, sarcastic and very funny.' – REMOTEGOAT.
The Great Puppet Horn are Jeremy Bidgood and Lewis Young with script editing by Léonie Hamway. Jeremy and Lewis are comedians, animators and puppeteers who dreamt up The Great Puppet Horn over a mutual love of puppets and laughing at people in authority. Jeremy is also an award winning director. Lewis is also an animator for TV and film and bears a passing resemblance to an evil Roger Federer.
'An irreverently funny piece of shadow puppet theatre ... anarchic ... sharp witted.' – BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
