Beginning on YouTube in 2011 and followed by a Channel 4 series in 2022, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared riffs off the kids puppet shows we know, introducing a surreal, darkly existential and admirably sinister perspective that is funny as it is unsettling. At this event, we will screen favourite moments from the series in the company of the show’s creators and performers, highlighting the impressive blend of live action, puppetry and various styles of animation.
