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, Señor Enrique Strawberry, and Brutal Planett. Hosted by Troggg with three Gs – Brisbane’s most charismatic blue monster compère.
Musician: Robert Zosars
