A co-production between Larrikin Puppets and Edge Improv, “Thank Troggg You’re Here: A Puppet Impro Spectacular!” is a comedy variety show that combines short-form improvised theatre scenes (think ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’) with puppetry in the TV style of Jim Henson (The Muppets, Sesame Street).
Puppets are projected onto a movie screen, with puppeteers performing live on stage below them.
Performers improvise outside of their own body, and into the body of a puppet, playing within the space framed by a video camera’s lens. Watch the puppets projected onto a screen, as well as the performers live on stage below them.
Thank Troggg enjoyed a successful season in May 2014 at Mowbraytown Hall (East Brisbane), as part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival, and has since been performed at New Globe Theatre (Fortitude Valley).
Performers: Brett Hansen, Brad Daniels, Rachael Whitaker, Chris Spensley, Leanne Shellshear, Sam Clifford, Lucy Posner, Rikki Strachan, and Brutal Planett. Hosted by Troggg with three Gs – Brisbane’s most charismatic blue monster compère.
Musician: Robert Zosars.
