Tickets
A year ago, children’s entertainer, Ms. Lady, had a mental break down after loosing her job at a local TV station. Luckily, Ms. Lady stole the set and her puppets to take back to her apartment, including her puppet sick-kick, Monster. To try and cheer up Ms. Lady, Monster convinces Ms. Lady to host a live talk show in front of an audience in the comfort of her own living room. But is Ms. Lady ready to work in front of an audience, or will her dependence on vodka to soothe her soul be the end of her career?
Ms. Lady’s Wonderful Fun-Partment takes the nostalgia of Pee-wee’s Playhouse and the Muppets and makes it more surreal with a mixture of adult humour and googly-eyed puppets.
