Feedback/Comments
Its been awhile since I saw it - sorry - but I loved the show. So quirky! Maybe I was laughing every two minutes .It was a very challenging call to turn horror into humor and I admired Dave's skill to create such an alternative out there story line. It was a complete embracing of the distorted ridiculous. To my taste - it was perfect foreplay !! Lol He's one hot puppeteer .
OKAY has potential
Not that funny and someone in the audience was laughing every 2 seconds at absolutely nothing making it all seemed even less funny.
Started good but declined half way. Shows promise.
Make the rest of the show like the egypt story!!
Great night thanks on the house
Unfortunately I found this show not at all funny or entertaining.
Fantastic opening and then it dropped off a little for us but still a great show. The puppets were an added bonus. Make sure you arrive early as getting tickets was a bit of an ordeal. Three trips to the box office before the staff were able to locate our reservations. The same issue with our second show for the night, Joel Tito.
