“A truly remarkable performance that appears to defy reality”  – Adelaide Advertiser

Due to overwhelming demand, AN EXTRA WEEK OF SHOWS has been added for David Strassman’s hilarious new show, iTED E at the Athenaeum Theatre. Strassman has enjoyed tremendous success in Melbourne but this season promises to be the best ever.  Strassman will add a 3rd and final week from Tuesday 11 October.  With a Victorian tour following, no futher extension is possible.

International comedy star, David Strassman’s brand new show, iTED E 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.

Strassman has completed numerous television appearances as well as his own show on Channel Nine called ‘Strassman’, with subsequent series on ITV England and TV3 New Zealand. But the live stage is Strassman’s favourite medium, and he will take iTedE to stages across Victoria on this tour. See tour dates below.

“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 iTedE.”  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 iTedE is worth seeing.”  Australia In Daily 2016
