2020 - 2025
PUPPET UP! - Los Angeles
The award-winning, critically acclaimed live show was hosted on The Jim Henson Company’s historic lot in Hollywood until 2024.
Created by award-winning director and producer, Brian Henson (“Muppet Christmas Carol”, “Muppet Treasure Island”), and actor, director, and improv expert Patrick Bristow (“Ellen,” “Seinfeld,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”), Puppet Up! – Uncensored promises to deliver a completely unique experience (it's never the same show twice!), and expertly combines dynamic and spontaneous off-the-cuff comedy with the unmatched talent and creativity of Henson puppeteers. Based on suggestions from the audience, the puppet anarchy is two shows in one: the improvised puppet action projected live on screens above the stage, and the puppeteers racing around below in full view of the audience to bring it all to life. The show also features recreations of classic pieces originally created by Jim Henson, Jane Henson, and Frank Oz that haven’t been seen by live audiences in decades.

The Kid’s in the Hall’s Bruce McCulloch Off-Broadway Run of TALES OF BRAVERY AND STUPIDITY
Bruce McCulloch: Tales of Bravery and Stupidity is a one-man show that moves brilliantly between funny, relatable and surprisingly touching. Using music, stand-up, and storytelling, Bruce McCulloch takes us on a poetic flyover of his life “pursuing stories” and makes an unspoken agreement with the audience to contemplate the world together. Tales combines Bruce's knack for effin' funny observations with his humanistic yearnings, looking at the bravely stupid things he's done, and things we all do as we try and make sense of our messy lives.

PRUE LEITH: Nothing in Moderation
In 2022, the legendary Prue Leith brought her work-in-progress performances of her first live show, Nothing In Moderation to the Daryl Roth Theatre in NYC and the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
How did Prue Leith, a raw South African with no proper education and no money, who had flunked out of umpteen courses, had never worked in a catering company or a restaurant and had never been a food teacher, end up owning a catering business, a Michelin starred restaurant, and a top chef school? And at the same time produce fifteen cookbooks, eight novels and an autobiography? And end up sitting on the boards of corporations like British Rail, Whitbread and the Halifax? And chair Government quangos like the School Food Trust, initiate the Fourth Plinth sculpture project in Trafalgar Square, head up organizations like the Restaurateurs Association, the Royal Society of Arts, and the first company to turn round failing state schools? And also have a successful career on television, become a judge on The Great British Baking Show, and have two happy marriages?
Nothing is off the menu in this frank, revealing and very funny all-new show. Prue will share a myriad of fascinating anecdotes about her life: taking audiences through the ups and downs of being a successful restaurateur, novelist, businesswoman and The Great British Baking Show judge; feeding the rich and famous, cooking for Royalty and even poisoning her clients - all told for the very first time.
