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.
