Bizarre One-Man Puppet Shows

The Dancing Queen Performs Hit Songs Using Life-Size Puppets

— June 10, 2013 — Pop Culture
The Dancing Queen, better known as Christopher, has created a unique one-man performance based entirely around him dancing as different pop stars while attached to life-sized puppets. Over the years, Christopher has performed as Michael Jackson, the Black Eyed Peas, and now as Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts.

This video features a dance mashup to which Christopher, dressed as a ventriloquist-style doll that is a stunningly accurate representation of Tim Burton's Red Queen, dances while attached to several other puppets. These puppets are also Alice in Wonderland-themed, looking exactly like the Red Queen's even playing card henchmen.

The Dancing Queen medley includes a wide variety of tunes, from Kelis's 'Milkshake' to 'Can't Touch This.' His strange puppet-costume and hilarious dance moves make for a unique performance that even the internet has never seen before.
