SHITTY DEAL PUPPET COMPANY LAWRENCE, KS
PRESENTS: A SHITTY CHRISTMAS CAROL
FIRST FRIDAY DECEMBER 2 and SATURDAY DECEMBER 3 - 8pm AND 10pm TICKET PRICES COMING SOON
"Shitty Deal Puppet Theatre Company is like a Chinese meal, in that 15 minutes later you want another one... Brilliant stuff." - TheScotsman.com
From London, England to Edinburgh, Scotland to Lawrence to the Fishtank! We are happy to host the Shitty Deal Puppet Company! Each show is based on Mr Doper's exposition of the given topic for the benefit of his "little friend Bobby", a creature so adorably cute you'd kick Bambi out of the way to cuddle him. In Shitty Deal Christmas Carol Bobby learns meaning of Christmas through a series of heartbreaking yet funny events. Four puppeteers play all the roles in this Lawrence company that has performed in the states and at the Edinburgh Fringe from 2007-2009 in which they received five-star reviews from one of the toughest comic critics at the Edinburgh Fringe!
GETTING LUCKY:
A STAND-UP SHOW FROM A LAY-DOWN LADY
KC NATIVE, SUSANNA LEE, BRINGS 1-WOMAN SHOW HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Lucky DeLuxe (Susanna Lee) is a notable figure with a very noticeable one. Calling to mind a modern-day Mae West, she tickles her audiences with a combination of sharp-wit, shameless experience and teasing sensuality. Having successfully integrated burlesque routines into her standup stage show, this lovely lady brings a bevy of sauce and seduction to every performance. She’s been described as “a cross between June Cleaver and Columbia from Rocky Horror, with the vernacular of a stevedore.” “Getting Lucky”, was awarded the “Best Of Fringe” title for its venue, during its debut run at the 2011 Kansas City Fringe Festival.
"I can't wait for these shows! KC is my hometown and I'm excited to film my dvd at the Fishtank! One of my favorite venues!" -Susanna Lee
