Ay Up Puppet Company is proud to present the Nottingham Artist Puppet Cabaret. Bringing an evening of grown up puppet fun and silliness to the city for one night only as part of the Nottingham Puppet Festival.
We are thrilled to announce an exciting line up of acts ranging from established local talent, to artists from further afield, to emerging puppeteers within the Nottingham puppet community.
The evening will be kept on track by our brilliant, if slightly anxious, MC – Gweeb. Be prepared for some adult comedy, abstract object puppetry and general puppet silliness! Situated on the Dress Circle Bar at the Theatre Royal Nottingham come and join us for an intimate night of puppetry and some serious fun!
