Hodman Dodmanott and Sally Forth
Meet Hodman and Sally! Award-winning puppet walkabout characters.
This world famous act, featuring two tiny backpackers, has delighted audiences at festivals and events all over the globe with its quick witted comedy and enchanting illusion. Using storytelling, puppetry and improvisation, ‘Hodman and Sally’ is an original walkabout show with visual spectacle and characters that will melt your heart.
These adorable explorers are on a mission to discover all they can about the outside world. Wondering as they wander, Hodman and Sally will be your new best friends and draw you in to their world with tales from their home country of Oblivia. They’ll entertain you with their stories and ask about yours, happily sharing their personal philosophy, indeed navel gazing is something of a speciality (although it’s usually other people’s navels, due to the height difference). Hodman and Sally take you on a journey that you’ll remember long after the show is over… they might go on a bit though, they are ramblers after all!
This puppet duo are very well-travelled and have performed at indoor and outdoor theatre and arts events all over the world! Although they don’t always have the best sense of direction… Hodman and Sally have been lost at sea as cruise ship entertainment. Lost and found as entertainment for schools, train stations and libraries. They’ve been lost in the crowd as festival entertainment, lost in the moment as a theatre festival act and have lost the plot as entertainment for garden-themed events and farms. They’ve lost their hats as theme park entertainers and lost the ring as entertainment for weddings.
Hodman and Sally make themselves at home wherever they go! This charming, funny walkabout act is very versatile … the original pint-sized puppet backpackers who will wander anywhere and everywhere. Their bespoke performances are a perfect fit as an act for an outdoor arts event or as a puppetry festival act.
They create an unforgettable guest experience as corporate event entertainment and entertainment for family fun-days. They are a great act for parades, as music festival entertainment and as an act for outdoor arts festivals and community events.
From a show in a cruise ship elevator for four people, to the record crowds of the Shanghai World Expo*, we can safely say that there is no audience too big or small for Hodman and Sally to entertain.
With their trusty backpacks on, Hodman and Sally come with a lot of baggage, some of it emotional, (but all weighing less than 20kg, making them a very economical act to fly overseas!)
This is such a warm and funny act, you’ll want to take these adorable costumed-characters home with you!

“The cutest itty, bitty little things that I ever did see”
Dolly Parton
“Hodman and Sally are without doubt amongst la crème de la crème both for the quality of their theatre (ie the costumes and the basic design concept) but also for their lightness of touch in interacting with the audience and, quite simply, their level of wit …/…
…they are hugely funny and, without question, unique. In many years of working in this area of theatre there are only a handful of acts who achieve all of these qualities at the same time and it is hard to think of reasons not to re-engage them annually.”
Stewart Collins, Henley Festival
