_Shitty Deal Puppet Theatre Company’s Complete History of Oppressed People Everywhere!_ is the most politically incorrect, yet eye-wateringly hilarious, show I have seen in quite a while.

The show starts with a disclaimer pointing out the first word from the title so we can’t sue for bad taste or low quality puppets. The host of the show is Mr Doper who explains to little Bobby the history of opressed people everywhere using a wade variety of weird and sometimes disturbing hand puppets.

I did love the appearance of ALF at one stage, and the special effects have to be seen to be believed. the audience for this show were laughing and grabbing their sides at some of the most tasteless jokes in puppetdom’s history (even Mr Doper had laughing fits at some points). So if you’re not easily offended and want something eye-wateringly funny, see this.
