Showko - Absolutely Normal
Comedy
• Puppetry
SA Premiere
Welcome to the quirky and hilarious world of Showko -- Australia's favourite
Japanese comedian. Wonderfully funny and off-beat, Showko's blend of
stand-up, puppetry, ventriloquism and Rakugo (Japanese storytelling
comedy) is hugely entertaining and utterly unique. Growing up in the
kookiest culture on earth, she escaped into a childhood fantasy world of
making and talking to puppets -- now it's her job. One of the standout hit
shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2018. The world may
be crazy, but Showko is absolutely normal. Directed by Heath McIvor (the
man behind Randy the Puppet).
