Trash with a Porpoise

Next date: Tuesday, 07 April 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:10 PM

Two performers wearing black “Trash Puppets” shirts hold colourful puppets made from recycled materials, including a fish and a sea creature, smiling against a plain studio background.

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, song and, of course, plenty of trash.

With a host of original trash puppet characters, including crabs, sea slugs, penguins, a sea horse and a puffer fish, who join our porpoise and starring character Merf, children will be mesmerised by the diversity of sea creatures and the stories, songs and jokes they share.

“The use of recycled trash to create creatures is really clever and the kids respond to the cheery performance style and goofy jokes.” (Kate Herbert, Herald Sun)
