Puppet mayhem comes to Montecasino
Billed as Koch’s most fun show to date, Puppet Guy is all about hilarious characters
What would Conrad Koch and Chester Missing talk about if they didn’t constantly discuss politics and race?
In his latest show offering, Puppet Guy Conrad Koch, the man often mistakenly called Chester goes back to the lighter side of comedy ventriloquism.
The show will take place for the first time in Johannesburg at the Pieter Toerien Studio Theatre at Montecasino from April 25 to May 27.
“I wanted to explore having fun with ventriloquism this time around. Puppet Guy is a change of pace from the more political content I normally do. I still keep it relevant and topical but it’s more playful,” says Conrad, a double Emmy-nominated comedian and award-winning ventriloquist.
Billed as Conrad’s most fun show to date, Puppet Guy is all about hilarious characters, funny observations and world-class entertainment. It showcases the man behind the puppets as other than just being a political bad boy, Chester Missing’s “backing guy”.
The comedy ensemble includes outrageous puppet characters like Hilton, a dancing ostrich made from feather dusters and a slipper, DJ Hoodie, a DJ made from sunglasses and a hoodie, as well as some other surprising new characters and, of course, Chester Missing brings his shenanigans to the stage, too.
Tickets from R130 are available at Computicket. The show carries a PG13 age restriction and starts at 8pm from Wednesday to Saturday, with an additional 4pm matinee on the Saturday. Sunday shows are at 3pm.
