Poncho: Keep it Up!
With an orange flavoured zest for life, this Latino-lovin’ buffoon liquifies the English language so you can slurp its runny honey, gooey goodness down into your internals and be transported into his world of play, love and... self help? Keep it Up! is about doing exactly that, keeping it up.
Poncho takes you on a sensual yet consensual, absurd and hilarious journey of storytelling and physical humour to deliver you the life advice you never knew you needed and show you the true meaning of being a lover in more detail than you’d imagine.
