The Composter

Now available to book our new Co-Creation between The Wye Valley River Festival & Desperate Men!

‘The Composter’ – A dynamic superhero show that is bold, startling & down to earth.
Compost Mentis: of sound mind, memory & understanding

This interactive walkabout show connects people with the value & need for more composting.

A 30 mins show (up to 3 times a day) utilises a fantastic fully functional composting costume complete with a built-in sound system, internal smoke machine & lights.

Having accidently slipped fallen into a compost bin in 1973 The Composter since that time has been gradually composting. They are as a result part human, part worm, part banana, part idiot.

Seeped in Prog Rock and 80’s art pop feature heavily on The Composters mind as they battle the forces of their nemesis, micro & nano plastics.

Will The Composter be overwhelmed or will they be able to eradicate this pernicious villain and rise victorious?

Perfect for Garden Festivals, Agricultural shows, Allotment celebrations, Outdoor green themed events & Festivals.

The Rise of The Composter premiered at ‘The Wye Valley River Festival’ and rose again at Hellens Garden Festival.

Thanks so much for coming. We loved the Composter being part of this year’s festival, definitely brought some edgy humour to the event and was great for both children & adults.
