Scottish Falsetto
Sock Puppet Theatre – Boo Lingerie!
Back
for their 5th year at the Fringe, the stars of stage, screen and YouTube
present a brand new Socky Horror Show – Boo Lingerie!
Following
their fourth national and international tour, including a highly successful
month at this year’s Adelaide Fringe, the “Abbott and Costello of the Sock
World” (Time Out) take on a monumental challenge this year, producing not only
brand new show Boo Lingerie every night, but also a family-friendly “kids show”
Chunky Woollen Nits in the mornings!
“As
long as we remember to do the sweary words and the clever adult satire in the
evenings” say the Socks, “and the poo-poo jokes in the mornings, we should be
fine.” Their new horror-themed evening show features their usual topical songs
and satirical improvisations as well as ambitious theatrical interpretations of
every genre of horror from Frankenstein and Dracula to Sherlock and the Walking
Dead.
Songs,
sketches, socks and violence are guaranteed. And this year’s show is in 3D
(though we realise, being theatre, that this is not so big a deal).
"Superbly written, crafted and performed show" - ★★★★½ The Punch, Adelaide 2012
"A
complete delight - ★★★★ Venue, Bath Comedy Festival 2012
"How
on earth does The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre turn out to be so
bloody good?” - ★★★★ Chortle

Scottish Falsetto
Sock Puppet Theatre – Chunky Woollen Nits
After
four sellout years at the Edinburgh Fringe, and national and international
tours including this year’s Adelaide Fringe, the award-winning Scottish
Falsetto Socks unveil the show that everybody’s been waiting for – the one you
can take the kids to!
For
years they’ve been entertaining audiences of all ages, but usually only the
over-12 because of their occasional sweary-words and grown-up subjects. Now
this year, as well as unveiling a brand new adult show every night, they’ll be
presenting a new family-friendly show Chunky Woollen Nits in the mornings.
Writer/performer
Kev Sutherland expliains; "When I was doing excerpts from the shows on an
outdoor stage in The Garden of Unearthly Delights in Adelaide I realised the
kids loved the stuff I was doing as much as the grownups and they responded to
The Socks on a similar level. The Gilded Balloon also saw the potential for a
different audience and invited me to write a new morning show for the Edinburgh
Fringe this year. Obviously without the sweary words! But there will be enough
layers of humour for everyone to enjoy."
The
show features some old favourite songs and sketches and new delights for all
the family (7 and over)
"Superbly written, crafted and performed show" - ★★★★½ The Punch, Adelaide 2012
"For
sheer energy and laughs per hour, these comic stockings are the biz – denier
miss it." –
★★★★ The Scotsman
"An
absolute winner” - ★★★★ Chortle
"I
experienced streaming tears of laughter and almost fell off my chair clutching
my aching sides" - ★★★★★ Broadway Baby
