Our Kids Comedy Puppet Show is a colourful, interactive comedy variety performance featuring zany Muppet-style characters, silly skits, jokes and catchy original songs. The show runs for approximately 50 minutes and is fast-paced, energetic and designed to keep both children and parents engaged throughout.
Towards the end of the show, we invite children up to the stage to have a go at performing with puppets as part of a big song-and-dance finale.
We finish with a meet-and-greet, giving everyone the chance to high-five and take photos with Troggg and Marina, two of our main puppet stars.
The show is presented by two performers, Brett Hansen and Elissa Jenkins, and always goes down a treat with family audiences. It won Best Kids Live Show at the national 2021 What’s On 4 Kids Awards.
The style of puppetry is inspired by The Muppets and Sesame Street. Most of the performance takes place from behind our portable puppet theatre, with some interactive moments where we step out as ourselves to involve audience volunteers.
We have performed at a wide range of pubs, clubs and RSLs including North Lakes Sports Club, City Golf Club (Toowoomba), Tewantin Noosa RSL, Noosa Reef Hotel, Buderim Tavern, Harvey Road Tavern (Gladstone), Benowa Tavern, CSi Club Southport, The Belvedere Hotel (Woody Point), Kawana Waters Hotel (Buddina), Blue Pacific Hotel (Bribie Island), The Glen Hotel (Eight Mile Plains) and the Apollonian Hotel (Boreen Point).

• Two professional puppeteers
• A full puppet show of songs, skits, jokes and audience interaction
• Post-show meet and greet with Troggg and Marina

• All puppets, props, staging and sound equipment
• Travel time, parking, load-in, set-up and pack-down
Performance requirements:
We kindly request parking for our van as close as possible to the performance area or nearest accessible entry point, as we unload some large and heavy equipment.
Our puppet theatre requires a minimum performance space of approximately 3 x 4 metres. Ideally there is space for children to be seated on the floor in front of the puppet theatre.
We bring our own sound equipment, including two PA speakers, two wireless headset microphones with receivers, and an iPhone for music playback. We just require access to one standard powerpoint.
Our show works best when children can sit on the floor directly in front of the puppet theatre, with room to move, dance and join in. We are also very experienced performing in club and RSL environments with mixed seating arrangements, including tables and chairs for adults at the back.
Arrival and set-up:
We plan to arrive between 1.5 to 2 hours prior to showtime to allow time for parking, load-in and set-up. We travel in a Hyundai iLoad van with a height clearance of 2 metres. A nearby parking space with easy access to the performance area makes a big difference due to the size and weight of our equipment.
