What is your potion? Is it love, sex, relationships or music? Is it a heavy dose of humour? NTV brings the ‘Chicken and Chip’s show for you to indulge your desires and expand your knowledge base while at it.
The show is designed to reach a wide range of people through the use of puppets in a humorous way making the show relatable to the viewer. Through unscripted and uncensored discussions, topics about love, sex and relationships are served raw. The show also includes videos recorded on Ugandan streets of people speaking their truth about love and often times result into priceless humour enough to make an irresistible desert.
While digging in to a wide range of topics, the puppets are often times placed in different settings like in a saloon where in normal life, topics that tug onto our heart strings are openly discussed hence drawing in the viewer in the likes of such flawless and uncensored discussions.
Music videos from Ugandan artists are played and all the unknown details of what happened during the shooting of the video shoot are revealed in a segment called Popcorn video. Also part of the ingredients for the show is a social experiment segment which employs hidden cameras to observe and comment on how ordinary people behave when they are confronted with unusual social dilemmas.
Chicken and Chips is made in Uganda and Tanzania with puppets created by Muppet Show veteran puppeteers in New York.
In a world where so much is swept under the carpet to give an illusion of perfection, chicken and chips brings solutions that break such barriers in our society, unearthing truths, reaching out to both the youth and adults and daring them to think.
Catch the show on NTV every Sunday at 1:30pm with a repeat on Friday at 4pm.
