Conrad Koch & Chester Missing's Puppet Power LIVE in Menlyn, Pretoria 24 January 2026

Conrad Koch & Chester Missing's PUPPET POWER - LIVE IN MENLYN, PRETORIA

Conrad Koch is South Africa’s double Emmy nominated ventriloquist, and second most famous puppeteer after Elon Musk. His most famous puppet, Chester Missing, of TV and TikTok fame, resents being a puppet and has a lot to say about it. But we are all someone’s puppet in some way aren’t we? Married people, you know what we mean. This hilarious ensemble includes the likes of Hilton, party ostrich, Gunter, recently divorced German mosquito, Mr Dixon, high school teacher who does not like to be manipulated, DJ Hoodie, the puppet who actually DJs, and newcomer to the show, wannabe celebrity chef and real life rat, Chef Ratsy. Expect a laugh-a-second ride of Muppets-for-big-people comedy, audience interaction and light social commentary, with a monster ending where Conrad turns someone into a terrifyingly funny talking dinosaur. With almost as many puppets as the GNU, but with jokes you can actually rely on, Puppet Power won a Standard Bank Ovation Award ats National Arts Fest, and sold out around the country.
