INTERNATIONAL comedy star and ventriloquist David Strassman will give the Sunshine Coast two opportunities to be in stitches with his new show iTedE.

iTedE is an uproarious take on our technology-laden lives.

The sharp-tongued Chuck Wood and loveable Ted E. Bare have been thrust into the world of social media, constantly on their iPads and iPhones, not interacting with the real world.

With everyone connected to the internet 24/7, will Strassman get them back under control?

Strassman's most technically advanced stage production yet, iTedE introduces new technology that brings the world's most advanced puppetronics to the stage.

Combined with cutting-edge lighting and jaw-dropping production, Strassman and his popular puppet characters will bring mayhem and theatrics to a set designed by one of New York's most-renowned stage designers, Luke Cantarella.

Since his early performances in the 1990s, Strassman has been embraced in Australia and completed numerous television appearances as well as his own show on Channel Nine called Strassman, with subsequent series on ITV England and TV3 New Zealand.

Strassman will deliver iTedE on May 9 at 7pm at Lake Kawana Community Centre (book at www.scvenuesandevents.com.au) and May 18 at 7pm at The J, Noosa (book at www.thej.com.au or call 5329 6560).
