The Almighty Opp is a guerilla art project/puppet show of Jeffrey's Human Persona and Kranko the Human Person that showed up monthly at a street corner in Koreatown from 2003-2023 to perform what can only be described as an extremely experimental and surreal puppet show. They are back! If you have never been, do yourself a favor and check out one of LA’s most unique local secrets. I suggest bringing a camping chair.
