The Fother Muckers

  • Covert Theatre 51 Mackelvie Street Auckland, Auckland, 1021 New Zealand (map)

Welcome to Fother Muckers, the late-night talk show you didn’t know you needed (and might wish you hadn’t).

In this delightfully chaotic improv spectacle, our human host is joined by three puppet guests—chosen by the audience, so if things go off the rails, well, you only have yourselves to blame. Together, they’ll engage in a series of absurd games, painfully revealing interviews, and moments of awkward intimacy as we peel back the layers of the human (and felt) condition. Relationships will be formed and promptly destroyed, dark secrets will come to light, and one lucky puppet will walk away with the title of shameful victor—a distinction that no one should really want but everyone seems to fight for anyway.

Please note: neither the puppets nor the host take responsibility for any emotional damage or personal regrets suffered during this questionable journey into the absurd. You have been warned.

Rated: R18
Tickets $10.00
