A festive tribute show

It's time to light the lights.

The Puppet Folk Experience is proud to present a “most sensational” festive tribute show, bringing acoustic mayhem, heart and humour to audiences this Christmas.

Featuring two lifelong Muppet fans and a cast of lovingly handcrafted puppet characters, the duo celebrates the music and magic of The Muppet Christmas Carol alongside beloved songs from the classic frog-hosted television series—all performed through live puppetry and banjo music.

Expect warmth, comedy, audience interaction and plenty of festive surprises in a unique live show made with genuine affection for the world’s most celebrated puppet performers.

It all began in summer 2025 at a small acoustic night in Leigh, Greater Manchester, with a banjo and a frog.

What audiences say

“I just loved them, I don’t think the show could be any more magical, and getting to meet them all after was so lovely. They really care about the people that come to the show. It’s one of my favourite Christmas moments ever, and I hope they become a Christmas tradition for me.”
