Pupaphobics will disagree, but puppets can be pretty funny sometimes. Even Crank Yankers had its moments.
For something a little different than your average puppet show, check out the improvisational Puppet Up! from the Jim Henson Company at The Comedy Festival. If you absolutely can't make it to Vegas to watch in person, no worries. TBS is filming ia live performance for broadcast on Monday, Nov. 20.
If you haven't heard about Puppet Up!, it's a show-within-a-show and has an obvious Avenue Q vibe sprinkled with Second City or Boom Chicago and a whipped topping.
A fair warning, just because "puppet" and "Jim Henson" are used in the same sentence, this show is not not for kids. If there is a rainbow connection, you won't want your children to watch.
