About Artist's Workshop
The Meeples: XXX is a 55-minute dark comedy puppetry cabaret by Artist's Workshop at Lime Studio. The world's most famous puppets have lost their funding, been kicked off television and are now hunted. Broke and desperate, they throw a filthy, drug-fuelled cabaret featuring live music, dance, puppetry and chaotic humour. The beloved characters spiral into violence, debauchery and absurdity as danger closes in. The show is strictly for ages 16 and over, with warnings for strong language, scenes of a sexual nature, scenes of violence, distressing themes and audience participation.
Why see this show?
Raunchy, anarchic puppet cabaret that commits fully to its premise — beloved characters in freefall, with live music, dance and genuine theatrical chaos. For those who want a Fringe show that goes somewhere genuinely unexpected, this is deliberately, unapologetically alive.
