Ready for a night of side-splitting, R-rated hilarity that’ll leave you spellbound? Look no further than ‘Puffs’!
In this hilarious parody of a familiar story, three potential heroes are just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers. Their epic quest takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
Puffs is Rated-R and contains mature language and themes that may not be appropriate for all ages.
