ST FRANCIS BAY<\/strong> – The country’s most outspoken puppet is back on stage and ready to stir up laughter. Comedy duo Conrad Koch and Chester Missing are bringing their brand-new show, Puppet Power, to the Eastern Cape and Garden Route this October, with stops in East London, Gqeberha, Knysna and St Francis Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh from winning a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival, Puppet Power promises an evening of wild comedy, fresh characters and unapologetic fun. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Chester Missing leading the charge, audiences can expect sharp-witted satire mixed with pure silliness \u2013 a show that feels as current as your latest TikTok scroll.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This show is 99% silliness with a dash of satirical truth,” says Koch. “We’re all puppets in some way \u2013 in politics, relationships, or at work. Chester just happens to be loud about it. For him, Puppet Power is an idea whose time has come.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audiences can look forward to a mix of new and familiar faces, from party-loving Hilton the ostrich and DJ Hoodie the puppet, who are DJs, to Gordon Ratsy, the celebrity chef rat and even a talking dinosaur powered by an audience member. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in Koch’s quick-fire social commentary \u2013 from Elon Musk and global politics to South African quirks like FlySafair life jackets and calling traffic lights “robots” \u2013 and the stage is set for a laugh-a-minute spectacle.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But above all, Koch says, Puppet Power is about joy: “Eastern Cape audiences are always incredible, and we can’t wait to bring the energy of this new show to East London, Gqeberha, Knysna and St Francis Bay. People are hungry for laughter, and this tour is all about leaning into the absurd and celebrating the funny side of life.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Chester had something to say: “Finally! Thank you for asking. This show is about me. Conrad is just along for the ride.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
