Every so often, the folks at The Henson Company do this wonderful show called Puppet Up!, which is a live, improvised, somewhat dirty puppet show for adults. If you live in or around Hollywood and you haven't been to see this, you're missing something you might enjoy as much as I do and I enjoy it a lot. Since it's for adults, leave the kiddos home and expect to hear naughty words from cloth mouths. And since it's improvised, based largely on suggestions from the audience, you can come back and see it again and again.
They're doing it next weekend and when I plugged this before, I said it would sell out soon. It usually does but then they usually do three shows over two days and this time, they're doing five over three. Saturday, January 25th, there's a show at 6 PM and a show at 9 PM. Sunday, January 26th, there's a show at 3 PM and a show at 6 PM. And then — this is new — they're doing a special, experimental show on Monday the 27th at 7:30 with special celebrity guests participating.
Anyway, there are tickets still available for all these performances, which take place at the Henson (formerly Chaplin) lot on La Brea near Sunset. Just being able to walk onto and around that historic studio is a treat in itself. I'll be at the Sunday 6 PM show if that matters to you. Tickets can be ordered here.
