This great favourite is back as our sell-out show of puppet mayhem returns again. We follow Princeton as he struggles through life and love. A great show not for the easily offended. This show is full of humour and witty lines that smack you around the face through sex, love and comedy. You forget about the actors as the puppets take on a life of their own as you buy into their lives and struggles. A talented and dedicated cast make this show a must-see show for 2026.

Why see this show?
