HANDS, KARL!

In HANDS, KARL!, roommates Dave and Karl navigate the chaos of cohabitation in one performer’s hilarious, heartfelt journey through friendship, frustration, and the small triumphs of daily life. With puppetry, aerial rope, and physical comedy, this solo show channels the spirit of Ernie and Bert to explore what it means to live with someone completely unlike yourself. It’s a nostalgic, high-energy tribute to odd couples everywhere.
