| - Before I begin, be aware that I'll be using not child friendly language in my verbatim quotes from the audience at the show on 9/4/16.
Like Norm K. noted in his review, this show showcased how unimaginative and base the average drunk tourist is.
While the team of puppeteers are very talented and the host is quite funny, the fact that every audience participation skit, except one, revolved around sex was disappointing.
Off of the top of my head, we had a:
- James Bond type skit with the villan "Golden Pussy" where the puppets engaged in three way oral.
- Hotdog puppets "roller-f***ing in a sex shop."
-Bed time story called "I f***ed my sister" about an incestual fish who had sex with every family member.
- Circus with a burlesque mom who nursed a foul mouth baby during her act, with the second act being about a "donkey show" (bestiality.)
- Weasles playing Russian roulette in a porno.
- "Beyonce shoplifting a fork, but escaping by mesmerizing everyone with her a**."
- Clown being paid to strip by a kid's dad
- 5 brothers doing a dance called the "mother f***er."
- Crazed Cincinnati Bengals fan sexually attacking a woman.
-Reenacting a couple from the audience hooking up in a pub.
The only sexless skit was about joining the Marines, which says a lot about the crowd...
Honestly, the sex was just overkill in a non funny way. I'd prefer less audience participation to get away from the hackneyed *shocking* sex suggestions so that the crew can actually showcase their creativity.
In between all the garbage suggestions from the audience, there were two original Henson skits from 1956-1964. Those were cool, as were the technical parts of how they do the show.
While I'm torn giving this show a lower rating, due to the fact the crew is quite talented & the technical portion is interesting, the constant sex theme makes the show too repetitive and a poor choice for many audiences.
