Ventriloquist unleashes crazy ‘Puppet Guy’
VENTRILOQUIST Conrad Koch will let his inner puppet out in a brand new comedy show. The comedian heads to the Baxter Theatre with Puppet Guy for two performances on September 23 and 24 at 8.15pm.
Following the success of comedy acts such as Puppet Asylum, The Chester Missing Roadshow and Missing, Puppet Guy showcases the guy behind the puppets with a unique take on ventriloquism.
In his latest production Koch takes his artistry to a new level of performance. Audiences will be introduced to a host of new characters in an inventive, creative and interactive way, bringing you his funniest and latest material.
Koch gets back to the silly side of ventriloquism, talking to himself and the variety of odd puppet people that live in his head. In this work he discovers that his puppets have all gone missing. These characters have formed such an integral part of his persona, that now he needs to find a way of creating new puppets out of interesting objects surrounding him.
In this comedy ensemble of one Conrad, a double international Emmy-nominated comedian makes everything from paper bags to feather dusters talk in this satirical take.
Recognized by many as the top ventriloquist in the country with a MA in social anthropology, Koch is a master in combining comedy with puppetry and delivering his perceptive take on the human complexities of society. Constantly exploring new avenues in the ventriloquial form the show promises to deliver a class act, with crazy and amazing characters, blended with social commentary and hysterically funny situations.
With his finger on the pulse of what’s new and trending, to cultural and social issues where the drama of politics lends itself to all things theatrical, you can be guaranteed to get razor-sharp views and opinions from Koch and his puppets on every topic imaginable, as well as tons of pure silliness.
Comedy fans and those politically minded followers of his puppet analyst Chester Missing, can catch this brand-new show featuring new characters and his latest material that’s accessible to all lovers of comedy and ventriloquism.
Having worked in the industry for over 15 years, he has been featured on radio and television stations. He has also performed at Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal and is a frequent guest at many local comedy events.
