Slimey's Slimetastic World

Slimey’s Slimetastic World is a chaotic, absurd adult comedy theatre show heading to the Wellington Fringe Festival, and we’re raising funds to bring it to a wider audience. Set inside a brightly coloured children’s-show-style universe, the show follows Slimey, who is feeling inexplicably sad. Is it a lack of ice cream? Or is it… late-stage capitalism?

Blending puppetry, live music, slime, and letters from fans, audiences are invited on a song-filled adventure alongside unforgettable characters like Sally the Socialist Sock and Monsieur Sticky. What begins as playful fun slowly slips into something a little more serious, as Slimey repeatedly teeters on the edge of an on-stage existential crisis.

Originally developed for Toi Whakaari’s 2024 Solos Season, this campaign will support the creative team, materials, and production costs needed to further develop and present this slimy, heartfelt, and hilariously unhinged exploration of being an existential adult.
