Belching forth from the glorified backwater village of Portland, OR, Happy Accident’s work
explores the exponential pace of overwhelming absurdity in our world. Found objects, large scale
puppets and sputtering lights bring you face to face with the cuddly nightmare that is everyday life.
An anti-clown car driven by master puppeteer liz HOWLS and co-piloted by musician/unlicensed
electrician Servant Baby, Happy Accident ecstatically careens down the wrong side of the lost
highway leaving a trail of old copies of Weekly World News and Jack in the Box wrappers in its wake.
Colorfully reimagining Saturday mornings spent drooling over piles of synthetic crap in front of the
TV, Happy Accident revels in naked, antipathetic americana. You will probably laugh, you might cry,
and like other designer drugs, you will want more within minutes. Ultimately you will ask yourself,
“What kind of culture would produce something like this?”
Happy Accident has performed “Vol. 1” on rooftops, in venues, warehouses, backyards and art
galleries across the country. A fan favorite at the 2025 New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival, “Vol. 1”
has received high praise from audiences. Happy Accident is excited to remount this touring show for
a run of east coast dates in fall of 2026!
