About this show
The world’s most famous puppets have lost their funding, been kicked off TV and are now hunted by ICE. Broke and desperate they throw a filthy, drug-fuelled cabaret packed with live music, dance, puppetry and hilarious chaos. Watch as the beloved characters spiral into a grotesque fever dream of debauchery, violence and absurdity – unravelling as danger closes in from all sides. Betrayals, orgies and serial murder collide in a cartoonishly raunchy spectacle – sweaty, exhilarating and unapologetically alive.

The Meeples, the world’s most famous puppets (who are all a little bit familiar) have, after 4 Stars
3.5 Stars. Wild, hilarious and completely bizarre, this is a show that’s certainly unique and I’m happy I took the chance on it. It’s very enjoyable, but the staging makes it difficult to fully immerse yourself.
The singing is raucously excellent.
