Wiwaldi&Co
The German answer to the Muppets
They’re cheeky, they’re loud, and they’re funny—in the “Wiwaldi Show,” the puppets call the shots. This unconventional ensemble is the German answer to the Muppets. The colorful figures represent different kinds of humor. Corny jokes, pure puns, slapstick, or subtle asides—the puppet troupe reflects all facets of human strength and weakness, thus offering high identification potential to every viewer. For men and women who love a hearty laugh, Wiwaldi & Co. deliver every time.
