Hilarious & slightly naughty skits from some of the funniest puppets around. This is an adult puppet show, so prepare yourself accordingly.
Description:
Quirky edgy puppet shows from quirky, edgy puppeteers! Puppeteers from around the country are converging on Gen Con for the best 4 days in gaming--and puppetry! But here's the best part: they're saving up just about all of their adult material just for this puppet slam! All of those things that we can't do in front of kids? We're going to do in front of you. (Okay maybe not *all*--but a bit of it!) Be prepared to laugh, to cry, to think, to gasp, to laugh again, to weep, and then laugh some more. You'll see beauty, you'll see talent, you'll see silliness, and you'll see hilarity.

Valerie Meiss (TinyWonder, Hellblinki) presents a unique musical performance, full of puppetry and stories of life's little tragedies and adventures, here and on the other side of the world: "Our heroine returns from a year of wandering: heart wide open, and guts spilling out. It’s been an incredible year, though: new places, new people, adventures, ghosts, mysteries, invisible cities, soulmates without words, transcendental telephones, and random bouts of laughing and crying with strangers. A collection of original music and puppet vignettes. Presented audibly and visually. Laughter and tears."

Description:
Ubu assumes the role of Faust in this raucous, rapid-fire puppet comedy. Inspired by the plays of Alfred Jarry, the legends of Faust, & the traditions of Punch & Judy, Ubu Faust is a satirical exploration of a most grotesque & unlikable man & the lengths to which he'll go to satisfy his many hungers. Well, two. Two hungers. He really only has the two. Contains boorish villainy, laughable special effects, gratuitous wordplay, & puppet sexuality. Minimal audience participation. Except in one bit. Well, three. Three bits. But they're simple. And relatively painless.
