BUCKET HEAD - Edinburgh Fringe 2024

We are bringing a Television Show to Edinburgh Fringe!

We have been developing a television show for the past year full of wacky characters, and feel-good adventures. A coming-of-age story about an orphanage of puppets!

Produced and Developed alongside The Desmond Brothers, puppets are so back baby.

And now, we are bringing it to the stage!

BUCKET HEAD is a show about friendship, adventure and fun among a motley crew of puppet orphans. 

When a once closed down orphanage reopens it introduces resident squatters Ozzie Airwalker and Jim Horgletooth to an odd assortment of new residents and friends, including Gary the Gorilla, Luther thy Knight and the newcomer Gulman the Confused. But when a storm hits everyone has to take refuge in the underground basement diner where the evil Dukey Horgletooth rules the roost! 

 Buckle your helmet for wacky puppet fun in what feels like a Saturday Morning Cartoon on stage! The perfect laugh out loud and wildly unique show for Edinburgh Fringe audiences. A show where everyone is included, a family-friendly show for ages 8+.

Welcoming Alana Louise (she/her), and Georgia Maguire (she/her).

 

And who are we? Ah! That's a scary question!

Ever since we were kids we always dreamed of going to Edinburgh Fringe! And now we are finally going, and that's totally barnacles dude!

Kelby Guilfoyle (they/them) is a non-binary writer, director, and puppet maker. They are a Creative Empowerment Award winner and have written stories on gender-neutral fashion for Off-Binary.com.

Kyle Moss (he/him) is a writer and puppeteer. The man underneath the Horgletooth! He most recently performed and created the show Just Jim, which premiered in Camden, London last year.

How will my money help?

Edinburgh Fringe is spenny!

We're looking to raise money for:

We also build all our puppets in-house! And we need to create a whole new set of characters for Bucket Head!

In a house like this, who needs family?

The show is an exploration of the feelings of belonging and abandonment. And feeling like you don’t fit in. Our main focus is creating a sunny and safe world, where everyone is included!

But it's also a show about moving on and learning to let go. Growing up can be tough, and losing your friends sucks. And sometimes it feels like all you bring is the rain!

It's something we're thrilled to finally be able to share! And we can't wait to see you all at Edinburgh Fringe in August!
