A new, hilarious Trash Puppets adventure UNDER THE SEA!
We are on a mission to save our oceans and we need your help!
This fun, new sketch comedy show for children and families is a thrilling journey full of puppetry, clowning, song and of course, plenty of Trash!
With a whole host of new, original puppet characters, including Crabs, Sea Slugs, Penguins, Sea Horses & a Puffer Fish, joining our Porpoise and starring character “Merf”, you will be mesmerized by the diversity of sea creatures and the stories, songs and jokes they have to share.
Trash with a Porpoise has the format of a sketch comedy show with short, punchy, hilarious sketches, whilst exploring the themes of marine waste, and how we can address it. Presented as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the show is deliberately priced at a very affordable $10 a ticket, to provide an accessible school holiday outing for local families.
“The performance was superb, the kids were totally engaged from beginning to end, and the message was pertinent and clear.” – Glam Adelaide
***** “Five Stars!” – Auckland Live
