A Wacky Revival of the Great Old Travelling Snake-Oil Salesman Shows!
The Colonel, is a big bold character who presents a varietyshow of large colourful puppets, including:
The Wild Giant Grasshoppers of Borneo,
who dance theCan-Can,
The Singing Catfish,
a blues/scat singer who squirts the audience whenever he says the letter S,
The Largest Egg in the World,
which hatches beforethe audience,
and an exotic plant
who does a really decent JamesBrown impersonation. :)Throughout the show, the Colonel expounds the virtues of hiswonderful elixir which he promises to sell to the audience at the end of theshow. When the end of the show arrives, he's shaken to find that his side-kickmonkey has used up all the elixir. The audience however is found to beinvigorated, rejuvenated, and revitalized even without having bought any elixir,and a great time has been had by all. With a variable running time, thisnon-stop laugh riot is perfect for festivals and concert series!
