The featured headliner will be The Josh and Tamra Show. For 26 years, The Josh and Tamra Show, pioneers of puppet improv, have toured the U.S. and beyond, performing and teaching their unique blend of comedy. Born at the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City in 1999, their show combines puppetry with long-form improvisation. Starring seasoned long-form improvisors Josh Cohen, a Jim Henson Muppeteer and Tamra Malaga, a character actress. Each performance begins with an audience suggestion and unfolds into a hilarious, one-of-a-kind, puppet-filled adventure. (May contain adult language and situations.)
