The Nitwits are a crazy kids comedy duo like you've never seen. Matty Grey and his imaginary friend Teddly Bear are a riot of energy, noise, snot and giggles. In Grounded we find out what happens when Matty is sent to his room without his game machines. Bed bugs attack, fairy bread is made (with real fairies) and bunnies vomit on unsuspecting volunteers. The show finishes with the biggest underwear fight the audience has ever seen!

This isn't polite giggle stuff... this is "laugh so hard snot comes out your nose and ends up in the hair of the person in front of you" comedy.

Written for children aged 5 to 12 years, but adults are allowed to laugh too.

Community Engagement

All shows by The Nitwits have the option to be followed by a "Teddly Bear's picnic". If the venue has a foyer or similar style open space separate to the performance space, Teddly will have an informal picnic with children and parents from the show. After a performance of "Grounded" Teddly will ask the children to tell her stories about times they got in trouble. What did they do to get in trouble? What happened next? Teddly will them improvise with the children about ways to make sure they don't make the same mistakes twice. These events are best when run informally, with rugs and cushions to sit on and the children guiding their own level of interaction.
