We are on a mission to save our oceans, and we need your help!
Join us as we navigate the depths of our waterways - battling whirlpools, cracking jokes with a walrus, and learning how we can reduce our impact through everyday actions!
This fun, new sketch comedy show for children and families is a thrilling journey full of puppetry, clowning, songs, and of course, plenty of Trash!
With a whole host of new, original trash puppet characters, including Crabs, Sea Slugs, Penguins, a Sea Horse & a Puffer Fish, who join our Porpoise and starring character “Merf”, children will be mesmerized by the diversity of sea creatures and the stories, songs, and jokes they share.
Trash with a Porpoise has the format of a sketch comedy show with short, punchy, sometimes hilarious sketches, whilst exploring the themes of marine waste, and how we can take positive steps to help it. The show includes participatory elements, wherein the children will be called upon to help us, including call and response and even inviting some audience members to help us in the show!
