If puppet master Paul Santos has his way, "The Felt Show Sampler," a performance that his group is doing tonight and Wednesday at 8 at Jackpot Music Hall (943 Massachusetts in Lawrence, 785-832-1085), will soon hit the road. "We're trying to make it more of a compact show if we're going to tour," Santos says. His secret for getting to Omaha: putting more of the Felt Show's bawdy puppets on video and dragging fewer of them out to venues. Hence, the mix of video and live action onstage. Don't worry — the adult-themed, often musical Felt Show skits, such as a video-game star's therapy session and a lamp singing about being unloved, are hilarious in the felt or prerecorded. Admission costs $5.
