Swamp Stomp
  These four surprisingly nimble blokes from the back blocks perform a distinctly Waikato rural dance style, following in the long tradition of Gumboot Dancing which simultaneously emerged in all the boggy regions of the world. Their charming performances involve rhythmic, synchronized, and percussive dancing, interspersed with hard-case static 'human monuments' on a rural theme.
If Fred Dagg had been a dancer, he would inevitably have joined Swamp Stomp.

The Whizzer of Odd
   A
well meaning old soul who’s attempts to cast spells usually end in dismal
failure because he keeps getting his words muddled.
A mell weaning old soul who’s attemps

woddled. [ Also available as a
human monument ] |
The Apologisers
   This beautifully turned-out pair of well-meaning Elizabethan twits is always caught up in their own world, that of highly polite society. They believe one must put one's best foot forwards and they constantly endeavour to do so. The trouble is, they are none too bright and the harder they strive, the more social blunders they make! This inevitably results in an on-going spiral of apologies, often even for things quite beyond their control. They love to socialize and are best suited to a large crowd and/or social functions. |
The Elfin Shoemakers
   These two naughty little elves love to make shoes. Stop to watch them merrily working and before you know it, they will have you measured up and fitted with a lovely brand new pair of highly-fashionable elfin cardboard shoes!
The Elfin Shoemakers provide a funny, interactive and engaging show and it’s amazing just how many proud 'customers' can be seen hours later still sporting their fancy footwear.

Aunt Fannies
    A group of outrageous "Aunties" bring mayhem, hilarity, colour and an all-time low in personal decor to all occasions… no matter how posh or informal. They may appear one teacup short of a picnic, but their singing dancing and cooking demonstrations contain much astute observation and many moments of comic genius.

visually striking, interactive show, based around group puzzle-solving.

puzzle pieces!

puzzle normally takes 90 minutes.

Medieval Quest-eons
  Roving through the streets and countryside, these pilgrims are on a mysterious quest. Help is often sought from passers-by, who are shown the ancient map, as the foursome endeavour to find (and lose) their way. The team has a hierarchy and the Hunchback, and the
Serf are obviously the drudges and do the most of the work, carting enormous loads, rushing from tree to tree, measuring distances, and working the crazy 'science
gizmo', under the ever watchful eyes of their two 9ft tall masters.

Dr. Hapuka's Amazing Whirlygig
    Local eccentric and self-styled music expert Dr Hapuka makes a meagre living on the side, selling stuff from his home made Whirligig. An elaborate kinetic sculpture constructed on a still rideable bicycle, the Whirligig also doubles as a mobile hawkers office from which Dr Hapuka sings his never ending sales patter, to backing music. But what exactly is it that he has for sale? No one's actually ever seen him sell anything, but this apparent lack of success doesn't seem to dampen his enthusiasm. |
