“truly sublime in its ridiculousness”
“hapless evangelical spiel”
Two shows that both feature Warren & Stew: a couple incompetent, middle management PR guys from a fossil fuel multinational
Hey IDIOTS, TEXT ME YOUR CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS!
An interactive deep-dive into political toxicity and the climate crisis.
"Hey Idiots, Text Me Your Climate Change Solutions!" is an exciting outdoor, interactive theatre show about the climate crisis, toxic masculinity and greenwashing.
Physical theatre, music, movement and inventive costumes combine to create a highly satirical, entertaining and thought-provoking experience about the toxic personalities and dysfunction contributing to the biggest challenge of our times.
Warren and Stew are two middling public relations managers from a fossil fuel multinational. The two charm and cajole the audience into contributing imaginative blue-sky-thinking solutions to climate change. Audience solutions are improved, picked apart and discarded until the spectacular climax reveals just how hopelessly out-of-their-depth the two really are.

“In a world awash with ‘climate change’ shows, it is great to see one that so cleverly satirises the notion of quick-fix and painless solutions…A wonderfully refreshing piece of street theatre – if we’re in the end days for human life on this planet, at least, with Adrenalism, we’ll go down laughing.”

A VERY CRYPTO CHRISTMAS
Corporate edu-tainment meets investment seminar meets anarchic physical comedy, at Christmas!
A Very Crypto Christmas is an anarchic blend of physical theatre, clowning and satire taking aim at the nightmarish dystopia of Crypto, consumerism, artwashing and toxic masculinity. A 40 minute show followed by christmas themed-karaoke.
Expect slapstick violence, physical theatre, clunky metaphors and razor-sharp satire of our current grotesque political reality.
Are you confused about crypto?
Do you want to invest in Christmas?
Finding it hard to tell your blockchains from the chains you forged in life?
Middling corporate hacks Warren and Stew present a christmas theatre show that is part business edu-tainment session, part investment seminar but fully doomed to fail. Warren and Stew will charm, hassle, cajole and ultimately guide you on a hilarious interactive journey through Crypto Past, Crypto Present and Crypto Yet To Come.
A Very Crypto Christmas saw a limited run during December 2022.
Keep your eyes peeled for future news…

“Watching their argument crescendo into Tom and Jerry slapstick is magnetic and very funny. The hosts are high-energy and never lose pace; their performance is exciting from beginning to end. A Very Crypto Christmas is truly sublime in its ridiculousness.”
