New video from The Great Puppet Horn! If only Gordon Brown had employed us as his strategists he might have defeated the dreaded Tori…

We think (admitting terrible bias) and so do the nice people at remotegoat who came and reviewed the April Fools’ Day show. Below are a few select quotes. Follow this link for a full read.

‘A genuinely hilarious hour of silly, topical and irreverent paper foolery’

‘To pack an hour with so many sketches, all tightly scripted, and to extract a constant stream of laughs is not an easy task. Much harder than they tried to make it look.’

‘I found myself taken back to the days of Spitting Image, French and Saunders, Fry and Laurie, when TV comedy was quick and clever and sarcastic and very funny.’

We had two brilliant shows at the Little Angel last Thursday. The place was completely jam packed. It was great to see so many people there. Thanks to all who came. Here are some photos of The Great Puppet Horn taken whilst we were setting up.

Once again The Great Puppet Horn is coming to London town. After sell out shows in London and Edinburgh we are returning to the wonderful Little Angel Theatre in Islington. If you have been before you will know it is a magical venue, if you’ve never been you must.

So come see us on April Fools Day. We’re doing two shows as it is not a big place and we want people to be able to get in, but it’s still worth booking early before it fills up.

We will be performing a lot of brand new material, with some golden oldies thrown in. Come one, come all for a delectable feast of Horn.

A little video from the vaults.

THE GREAT PUPPET HORN had a fantastic trip to the Pleasance, Islington as part of Suspense. We were totally sold out and got a great response from all who came. So thank you to all of you who made it.

We know there were quite a few people who missed out due to the limited capacity of the venue. Sorry about that but fear not for THE GREAT PUPPET HORN will definitely be appearing at Manipulate, Scotland’s adult puppet festival on the 4th and 5th February. Watch this space for more info.

In the meantime here are some nice things the BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE said about us:

“The Great Puppet Horn is an irreverently funny piece of shadow puppet theatre… a series of sketches are presented with barely time to draw breath in-between and the two puppeteers get through hundreds of puppets in the course of the show, tossing over their shoulder those they no longer need with charming recklessness… anarchic… sharp witted.”

BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

THE GREAT PUPPET HORN COMES TO LONDON TOWN! NOVEMBER 3RD, PLEASANCE ISLINGTON

A collection of tales bizarre and comic; presented in the monochrome glory of the shadow screen. Full of irreverent humour, political machinations, and dangerously correct grammar.

The Great Puppet Horn provides cultural critique as only bits of cardboard stuck to a stick can. Watch in delight as shadowy characters familiar and unknown speak, breathe, beat-box and pole-dance for your entertainment.

Come see the marvel of The Great Puppet Horn at the Pleasance Islington, November 3rd, 9.15 pm as part of Suspense 2009, London’s Puppetry Festival.

We at Pangolin’s Teatime have been slaving away to get this website up and runnning and here it is. Most of it is now working but there will still be some tweaks over the next wee while. Enjoy!
