Part Sesame Street, part South Park, Sh*tty Deal Puppet Theatre is comedy that touches you in a way that makes you want to tell an adult. From its humble origins in small town Lawrence, Kansas, this crazy collection of hand puppets, stuffed animals, and ordinary household items have played a variety of venues. From bars to breweries, universities to punk rock weddings, Sh*tty Deal has proved time and time again to be the perfect addition to any comic lineup. Coming off a fantastically successful Sell-Out run at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with The Complete History of Oppressed People Everywhere, and garnering 5-star reviews for The Complete Guide to the Arts in 2008, Sh*tty Deal Puppet Theatre is now booking venues across the country.

Sh*tty Deal covers a variety of themes, from skewering history to shattering the mythology of true love. Each show is based around the adventures of Mr. Doper, a bitter clown puppet with a chip on his shoulder roughly the size of Africa. He shares his twisted take on the world with his little friend Bobby, an innocent mouse who usually has some sort of terrible problem. Joined by a cast of over eighty assorted glove puppets, Barbies, and a special effects department consisting mainly of ketchup and chocolate syrup, Bobby and Mr. Doper navigate the muddy waters of human nature with hilarious results.

Each Sh*tty Deal show is handcrafted and developed by a team of exceptionally sh*tty puppeteers to ensure that the show is always an onslaught of messy fun and cutting-edge humour. With a small cast, shows which run at approximately 30-40 minutes, and minimal lighting and setup requirements, Sh*tty Deal is a perfect show for small to mid-sized venues seeking either part of a bill, or a stand-alone show.   Sh*tty Deal does contain strong language, comic puppet violence, and Barbie nudity. Incredibly popular with students and young professionals, this will bring in crowds that love comedy and crowds that love theatre alike. Just make sure they’re warned ― what they’re about to see…is Sh*tty!
