Last night we saw Puppet Up, an improv show by the Jim Henson Company. It was a little bit like Whose Line is it Anyway, but with lots more audience suggestions and puppets! Among the sketches were a Japanese sketch about a young man learning the ways of the Samurai (complete with bad lip sync) which turned into an orgy, a Tennessee Williams style play called "A U-boat named Stinky" and a
fairy tale called "Angus and the Ugly Fruit", told in a rap style, in which the King decides to experiment in homosexuality to appreciate the point of view of an unwelcome suitor.

It was hilarious from start to finish, but extremely smutty! I recommend it to anyone who grew up with Sesame Street, The Muppets and Fraggle Rock. It'll open your eyes!
Afterwards, Elissa, Bec and I went for a few drinks, met some nice young Australian chaps and said rude things about each other's mothers. (Sorry Mum).
