STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG is a madcap multimedia romp in which the skilled art of puppetry and comedic intelligent nonsense collide. Unpredictable, irreverent and rebellious, it’s never the same show twice as a team of expert puppeteers sets off on a trail of twisted sketches and songs at breakneck pace while interaction with the audience prompts the spontaneous storylines developing on stage.
STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG has evolved from Henson’s previous production “Puppet Up! – Uncensored,” which made its debut at the 2006 HBO Comedy Festival (Aspen, CO), and later toured the 2006 Edinburgh Festival (Edinburgh, Scotland), The 2007 Comedy Festival (Las Vegas, NV) and Australia’s Sydney Big Laugh Comedy Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (both 2007). Most recently, Puppet Up continued to be workshopped at monthly performances at Avalon Hollywood. The New York engagement of STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG marks the debut of a completely revamped production featuring all new technical wizardry and original music and staging.

BILLY CONNOLLY LIVE - Seattle, WA
Billy Connolly Live for TWO night only at The Bagley Wright Theatre at Seattle Center - 155 Mercer Street, Seattle, Washington
Fri March 12 - 8.00pm
Sat March 13 - 8.00pm
Direct from a 4-week Sold Out run at London's Hammersmith Apollo Theatre Billy Connolly is back conquering America alone on stage with a microphone, and bringing his oxygen-depriving take on all things taboo here to the Seattle Repertory.
Critics have hailed him as ‘a genius’, 'a comic legend', 'brilliantly funny' and 'a superstar.' They've called his comedy 'priceless, non-stop laughter verging on tears' and 'a must see night of comedy - he's fantastic, charming, rude and above all - hilarious.'
A Superstar across the globe, he's broken box office records from the UK to New Zealand, Austalia, Ireland, New York and Canada. The demand for tickets was so high during his recent tour of Scotland that ordering websites crashed the day tickets went on sale.
Best known in the United States for his starring role in the popular 1980’s sitcom Head of the Class, Connolly most recently appeared in the X-Files sequel feature film X-Files: I want to Believe and the cult classic Boondock Saints II – All Saint’s day, and will next be seen in the upcoming film Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black and Jason Segel.
3- 1/2 STARS! (out of 4) Irresistible! Connolly's good -natured outrage is as laugh inducing as it is clever. I pretty much lost it, he could get away with reciting the dictionary - the man's a riot!" L.A. Daily News
"Unmitigated Brilliance! This is a bladder-challenging Tour de Force and funnier than anything you'll see on stage this year."

"Has there ever been a day when the comedian Lewis Black didn't get up on the wrong side of bed? Acting like a grumpy grizzly prematurely roused from slumber, he vents his frustration at the absurdities of the world in roars of profanity, waving his arms as though conjuring divine intervention.
But, as loudly a this riled-up grizzly may roar, his blustering misanthropy camouflages an underlying streak of sweetness; at heart, he is a benign Papa Bear waiting for the world to come to its senses. Unitl then, his bad mood seems likely to get worse."
- The New York Times
"At 61, the spleen-venting comedian is only getting bitter - that is to say, better -- with age. Witness a comedy of expert modulations, subtle time-signature changes and just-right rhythms. To tune in only to the distemper, one missed the very music."
- The Washington Post
