Strassman’s Hilarious Brand-New Show Touring NZ In March

Strassman’s Hilarious Brand-New Show Touring NZ In March 2017


“Teddy! Chuck! Put Down Your Iphones And Talk to Me”



"A truly remarkable performance that appears to defy reality" - Adelaide Advertiser

International comedy star, David Strassman’s brand new show, iTedE is an uproarious take on our technology-laden lives. The sharp-tongued Chuck Wood and loveable Ted E. Bare have been thrust into the world of social media, constantly on their iPads and iPhones, not interacting with the real world. With everyone connected to social media and the internet 24/7, will Strassman get them back under control?

Strassman’s iTedE introduces an amazing new technology that brings the world’s most advanced Puppetronics to the stage. In a world-first feat, Strassman simultaneously operates 5 characters in a hilarious never-before-done, 6-way conversation, using a handheld wireless remote control that sets new standards in ventriloquism.

Combined with cutting edge lighting and state-of-the-art production, Strassman and his well known puppet characters will bring mayhem and theatrics to a set designed by one of New York's most renowned stage designers, Luke Cantarella.

Since his early performance in the 1990s, Strassman has had numerous television appearances in Australia and a series on ITV in England and TV3 New Zealand.

iTedE will be sure to delight audiences with side-splitting comedy, jaw dropping Puppetronics and a visual feast on stage. It’s the ultimate great night out.

Strassman will deliver iTedE all over NZ, heading to Whangarei, Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Invercargill, Dunedin, Timaru, Christchurch and Ashburton.

"A truly remarkable performance that appears to defy reality...NEVER has watching a grown man unravel with five puppets tugging at the strings been as entertaining as David Strassman’s iTed E” - Adelaide Advertiser 2016

“It is amazing what this man can do with ventriloquism…it really must be seen in person to appreciate the magnitude of Strassman’s ability in ventriloquism and puppetry” - Broadway World 2016

“Whether you’re a fan of his work or just looking for a fun night out with the world’s cutest teddy bear, David Strassman’s iTed E is worth seeing” - Australia In Daily 2016
