Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre at The Lass O’Gowrie

Though they may be Homer Simpson’s greatest (and only) fear, sock puppets can also be hilarious. Proving the latter since 2007 is The Scottish Falsetto Puppet Theatre, which brings its fantastically reviewed show to the Lass O’Gowrie for a special show tonight. The show, entitled ‘Socks In Space’, has already won over sockophobes everywhere with a slapstick, pun-filled space odyssey. It’s cult favourite of fringe festivals all over the world, and advance tickets have already sold out for the show tonight – so be sure to get down early and put a sock in it.

Fri 26 Jul, The Lass O’Gowrie, 36 Charles Street, M1 7DB, Tel: 0161 2736932, 7.30pm, £6-£10, www.ents24.com
