A codependent lesbian couple getting divorced must decide custody of their son: a dog-human-genetic-experiment-gone-horribly-right. Bumpo is a comedy about family and failure, and a tragedy about where hope can take you. And best of all: Bumpo is a life-sized puppet! Bumpo is co-written by Ben Loftus and Franny Weed; Loftus also directs.

Starring sketch-comedians/actors Mahalet Tegenu (Eileen) and Franny Weed (Sam) as delusional divorcées; puppeteer Chris Palmieri (Bumpo) as their inappropriate and affectionate son; and stand-up/actor Cameron Bradford (Davey) as their wacky neighbor. Produced by Loftus, Zachary Harrison Poli, and Cam Pileggi.

You can catch Bumpo at Jade Studio at Greenside @ George Street on August 12th – 29th (not the 16th or 23rd) from 18:25 (60mins). Tickets are available through the EdFringe Online Box Office.
