GenQ - For the not so straight individual

"Perilous & Provocative comedic improvisation with a bunch of puppets" pretty much sums up the show. There's no holds barred here as Brian Henson (son of Jim) and his motley crew take us on a ride through some very strange scenarios. It's all improvised and the audience gets to participate as well! Some of the puppets included a group of sausages who have a fear of bread. A trio of aliens who do stand up about internet porn and a pretty girl in love with a giant Tiki.
The concept is quite interesting in that you can watch one of two shows. The first, happens on stage where you can see the puppeteers at work with the puppets. Show number 2 allows you to be taken on a ride as you watch just the puppets on a big screen TV. Occasionally show number 1 bumps into show number 2 as you see an extra arm or a head or other body parts!

There's not much else that can be said about this risque and irreverent show other than it needs to be seen to be believed. Its a very interesting concept. Puppet improv! And be warned that the "no holds barred" approach is just that. This one is not for the kids!
