Man: Puppet shows aren’t for kids of today.
Me: Really?
Man: Yeah, kids just want IPads and computer games.
Me: So where did you get that information from?
Man: It’s just a fact kids a completely different
Me: Have you seen the pics of kids enjoying puppet shows by Custard Pie puppets?
Man: Nah, they prefer computers.
Point: If you think you know something or simply find yourself with a strong view, just ask yourself: Where did I actually get this information from? Could I have been indoctrinated? From a large multinational perhaps? Like a computer company? Today’s kids haven’t changed, they still want to be entertained and to interact specially if it’s a shared experience. What do YOU think?

Custard Pie Puppet Company’s colorful Christmas show embodies fully the Christmas mood, featuring Santa’s helpers Dong & Ding. Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and other surprise guests!
The show is live and interactive with all the sing-a-long favorites and generates lots of belly laughs from the audience, not to mention little giggles. In a nutshell the Christmas show has everything you want to experience during the festive season – a magical shared experience for friends and family.

The ever popular Ding and Dong will henceforth be known as Dong and Ding, the decision was made post lengthy discussions after Dong pondered for some time on the idea that a ‘Ding’ (of a bell for instance) does not necessarily sound before a ‘Dong’ specially if the listener was to join the ‘ding donging’ in mid chime. After much deliberation between Ding & Dong or should I say Dong & Ding it was concluded that the ‘Which name goes first’ scenario should be resolved by a game of Tiddly Winks which finally concluded Dong as the winner. After a little hissy fit and characteristic grumpiness from Ding he conceded and agreed to Dongs name going before his- as he mumbled something about the name change amounting to a effective promotion for Dong, we can only wait and see how it will all pan out over Christmas
After a hugely successful performance last night in “Jump for Joy Adventure Centre” Monksland Athlone, we look forward to one final show tonight at 7.15
This is one of our favorite Custard Pie audience reaction shots!
We’re really looking forward to performing at the amazing Belvedere House Mullingar on Saturday 5th of November!
