MUPPETS GET RAUNCHY

Sorry, I'm too busy to write it out myself, so here's a copy/paste:

-------------------

The creators of The Muppets are staging a rude and lewd puppet show that is strictly for adults only. Even Miss Piggy would blush over the antics of "Jim Henson's Puppet Improv" now playing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe arts festival in Scotland, where there are more puppet shows listed for adults than for children. "That really pleases me," said the late Jim Henson's son Brian, director of the Muppet Christmas and Treasure Island movies now reveling in the freedom of performing for adults only.

Every afternoon at the Fringe, his anarchic troupe of puppeteers do an improvisational show for kids, and then in the evening the puppets spew profanities for a show that takes off into surreal flights of fancy dictated by the audience. "It is lovely to do a show where you can go wherever your brain takes you," said Henson, winding down after a show in which the audience asked half a dozen hot dog puppets to pretend they were auditioning to be Ricky Martin's backup singers.

Henson, who first performed the raunchy improvisation show in Aspen and Hollywood, would like to develop it into a TV show. Two other projects he is working on are also just for adults. We hope one involves Kermit the Frog singing his new hit song "It's Not Easy Working Blue."
