1st Birthday Party – Larrikin Puppets
Testimonial: “Larrikin Puppets performed at our daughter’s 1st Birthday party. It was an excellent show, age appropriate from 1 to 9yrs (kids) but also had the adults entertained!
Brett arrived on time, quietly set up and waited for the start time without being pushy ‘watching the clock’.
He was very interactive with the kids even exchanging knock knock jokes! He also spent a lot of time after the show with Troggg talking to the kids and having photos. They’re still talking about it (and singing the songs)!
We loved it! I would definitely recommend Larrikin Puppets and will be using them again in the years to come!” – Julie, Clontarf.

Troggg on Sam The Ham Show
Troggg was recently an international guest on the web series of popular California-based puppet pig, Sam the Ham. 
Performed by puppeteer Justin Galluccio, Sam the Ham is a pig who is willing to try anything and everything (that people say a pig his size should not be doing, within reason). You can find Sam the Ham all over YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Here’s Sam’s interview with Troggg:
Troggg on The Hobble & Snitch Show
