Potatohead

A starch raving mad adaptation of Faustus… With puppets!

About

Potatohead is a hilariously bizarre solo show and adaptation of Doctor Faustus and the Seven Deadly Sins.

Saturated with potato puns from start to finish, Potatohead tells the story of a humble spud who dreams of becoming a cabaret superstar. But how does a couch potato grow to become a golden wonder? With elements of kitsch cabaret and old school entertainment, this original new writing blends puppetry, clowning and comedy for a highly entertaining and joyful performance. Potatohead is an unadulterated celebration of silliness.
