Everyone’s favourite androgynous ginger is back.

Whether you were a fan of Bosco or the mere sight of him sent you screaming for the safety of your bunk bed, the disturbingly ageless time-travelling hand puppet is opening the magic door once again at the end of January, with a show at Cork’s Everyman Theatre.

Bosco will be unboxed on Leeside on Sunday, January 26th, 2020 as part of his 41st anniversary Once Upon A Time Tour – Bosco’s Magical Garden and Sleeping Beauty, organised by Paula Lambert Puppet Theatre.

They say: “Bosco is Bosco, not a boy, not a girl, just a Bosco: a cheeky, lovely, funny, slightly-cracked, irrepressible, eternal five-year-old who lives in a box and who loves nothing more than to just be Bosco and meet all the boys and girls.”

We say: Take your kids along to show them what children’s entertainment in the 1980s Ireland was really like. If nothing else they’ll be all the more grateful for Paw Patrol afterward.

Ready for a nostalgia overdose? There are two shows, one at 12pm and another at 2.30pm on January 26th, 2020. Tickets are €12 here.
