There’s a world inside your bin! After falling into a mysterious trashcan, Jim is thrown into a wild and wonderfully silly tale of adventure, invention and some very odd characters.

Combining high-energy physical theatre with rubbish puppets and recycled props – and featuring catchy original songs – you’ll never look at your garbage the same way again.

An Utterly Rubbish Adventure won the Fringe World Weekly Children’s Event Award in 2022, the Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award in 2023, had a season at The State Theatre Perth and is currently on a tour of schools around WA.
