About CFACoLab
That Show About the Hot Dog is a multidisciplinary comedic production by CFACoLab, following Wee Wennie Wiener — an unlikely hot dog hero searching for inner hot dog truth. Each scene, dubbed a 'DOG', features effects, dance and culinary adventures. The show weaves together puppets, music, dance, visual arts and humour, all built around vibrant characters in hot-dog-inspired costumes. It culminates in an epic finale celebrating the cultural significance of the hot dog. Contains strobe lighting and strong language.
Why see this show?
Absurd, inventive and genuinely unlike anything else at the Fringe. CFACoLab's show throws puppets, dance, music and hot dog philosophy into one energetic, colourful hour — a flavourful all-you-can-eat experience, as promised.
