Imagine a talent show, just for puppets? The stakes are high as internationally-acclaimed South African ventriloquist Conrad Koch wants his puppets to compete to be the very best, but that pariah, Chester Missing, never does what he is told.

 Chester spits the honest unfiltered truth. Laugh your choochas off at Gunter the German mosquito, Hilton the dramatic ostrich, DJ Hoodie the puppet who actually DJs, Mr Dixon the high school teacher, and a surprise guest star as they fight it out.

 The best part is that you, the audience, get to judge as each puppet makes Conrad’s problems worse.

 A hilarious night out for the whole family.
