So The Great Puppet Horn’s brand new show for 2012 will be launching at the Little Angel Theatre on April 25th 2012. We’ll then be taking it around the country including visiting the delightful Brighton Fringe and the gargantuan Edinburgh Fringe where will be for the whole of August performing in the dark vaults of the Underbelly.
There will be other shows in the run up to Edinburgh which will let you know about when they are all confirmed. In the meantime you can book for April 25th at the Little Angel Theatre here.
Also don’t forget you can still catch our current show on the following dates:
February 4th – Manipulate Festival of Visual Theatre – Traverse Theatre, 10 Cambridge St, Edinburgh, EH1 2ED
Here’s an article about The Great Puppet Horn in Animations Online about one of our trips last year that took us to the delightful Buxton Puppet Festival. You can read it here.
So the latest edition of Japan UNIMA’s magazine (which I know you all subscribe to) has a lovely article about us in it. Click on the image below to read it (in Japanese obviously – we’re trying to get a translation for all us non-Japanese speakers)
Two exciting opportunities to see The Great Puppet Horn in early February. Were going to be in Edinburgh on 4th for a return visit to the Manipulate Festival, which has got a great looking line up (including us obviously) and then in London on 10th & 11th underneath Waterloo station in the Old Vic Tunnels as part of the Vault Festival, also brimming with exciting looking shows. Get booked now and hope to see you there!

So says the Sunday Times who posted a lovely little review of one of our Brighton shows. Unfortunately you can’t read it on the website without paying (thank you Mr Murdoch). So, to save you the bother and your shiny British pound here’s the review in full:
The Great Puppet Horn show which followed had an original format using shadow puppets. Scathingly funny jokes came at us thick and fast about the coalition government and British culture (“Is that a type of drink?”), with a dig at Nick Griffin on the way — do polar bears really have black skin, I wonder.
Lewis Young and Jeremy Bidgood kept us entertained non-stop and even when we weren’t laughing at the topical gags, the visuals kept the audience engaged. Keeping it so current can’t be easy, which begs the question, what will they take to Edinburgh in the way of new jokes — and puppets? Whatever is added or contemporised, it’s bound to be a giggle-fest — and this one certainly gets my five stars.
Thanks to Alison Thomson, who was the nice journalist from the Sunday Times who came to the show. Sorry to disappoint but we won’t be in Edinburgh this year. But there are many other opportunities to see The Great Puppet Horn coming up. Check out the previous post, below.
