Rough House Puppet Arts: Nasty, Brutish & Short
Hit the Puppet Fest’s fan-favorite late night shows, where raucous, raunchy, dark, sassy, sad and mostly hilarious puppet theater plays to supportive, sold out houses. The best part? Fancy international out-of-town puppet artists join cabaret host Jameson, his somewhat furry friends, and legendary Chicago puppeteers for a wild night of puppet revelry and fellowship followed by friendly unwinding. All four Nasty, Brutish & Short cabarets will also be streamed live—each show has a different lineup, join us for them all!

Chicago/International
Named “Best Late-Night Adult-Content Puppet Cabaret” by the Chicago Reader, Nasty, Brutish & Short is curated by Rough House Puppet Arts, a Chicago company on a mission to celebrate the weird things that make us unique, and the weirder things that bring us together. Funded in part by the Puppet Slam Network, this popular quarterly late-night cabaret doubles as an evening of contemporary short-form puppet and object-based theater for adult audiences, and a low-risk environment for artists to perform new and experimental work.
