South Africa’s top ventriloquist, Conrad Koch, is bringing his award-winning comedy and riotous cast of puppet characters to The Drama Factory in Strand with his latest show, Puppet Power.
Audiences can expect to meet favourites like Chester Missing of TV fame, Hilton the ostrich, high school teacher Mr Dixon, DJ Hoodie, and newcomer Gordon Ratsy — a wannabe celebrity chef and real-life rat.
Conrad Koch is South Africa’s double Emmy-nominated ventriloquist and the second most famous puppeteer after Elon Musk. His most famous puppet, Chester Missing, of TV and TikTok fame, resents being a puppet and has a lot to say about it.
Expect a laugh-a-second ride of Muppets-for-big-people comedy, audience interaction and light social commentary, with a monster ending where Conrad turns someone into a terrifyingly funny talking dinosaur.
With almost as many puppets as the GNU, but with jokes you can actually rely on, Puppet Power is not to be missed.
Tickets cost R220, and are available at www.thedramafactory.co.za
