The Stranger

The annual return of Sgt. Rigsby and His Amazing Silhouettes is cause for celebration. This is shadow puppetry for sinners, with wicked, witty stories about randy preachers, merry drunks, and a recurring character named Jenny, a singing chicken turned Parisian whore. In this year's show, innocent children search for their lost pets in a cruel metropolis—but the plot is just an excuse for Sgt. Rigsby (né Scot Augustson) to write testicle puns, an awkward sex scene between a hippo and a bear, and a conclusion wherein beer is the hero.
