Kids in Adelaide Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
The magical world of Bunk Puppets is an hour where the smile will never leave your face. Bringing such simple, every day items to life with a blend of shadow and light puppetry, Bunktopia is one of those all-ages gems that is hard to find in the ocean of fringe shows.
The show does start off in darkness, so if your little ones are a little skittish (like our 4yo), this phase is very short lived and then it is straight into the puppets. Plenty of crowd engagement and if you are lucky/unlucky (like we were) you will become part of the show yourself up on stage. Great fun with a brilliant solo performance from the uber-talented Jeff Achtem, your whole family will marvel as he progresses through different characters and trots out his puppet family.
Located in the Garden, the comfortable tent even on a hot day was a nice reprieve, so rest assured this is an all weather (rain, hail or heat wave) show for all ages.
