If your child is 10 and under this is a fantastic show for them. From the minute before the show to the end the kids did not stop belly laughing, giggling and being captivated. Quite simply: it's great FUN.
Take the kids!

THIS IS A FIVE STAR SHOW. Everyone should watch it because it's really really funny! It was the best show my son has ever seen according to him.

As this show is for kids I would like to give our grandchildren’s (7-10 years) verdict and that was a universal approval rating of 5 stars. They all loved the slapstick and of course the water guns.
Sadly sitting on the side ment it was hard to really get the full fun of the behind the screen part of the show and the kids did get a bit frustrated by this. However, at the end of the show it was the top of their most enjoyed shows of the 5 attended.
Thank you guys.

This is the third year running for us seeing the trash/splash Test Dummies. This year was disappointing. If you’re not seated in front you miss a lot of what’s going on because of a prop they use. Some repetitive and not very funny parts. The energy of the show was different. Shame, have seen so much better from these guys.

Super afternoon with the Crash, I mean splash test dummies. Our 3/5 yr old children really enjoyed/laughed at the slapstick comedy and impressed by the acrobatics/unicycling and juggling. Well done gents although we miss General Waste.

3/5 great energy from the performers but some of the links were boring. The worst thing was the venue - unless your facing front on you can't see all of the show and what you can see actually ruins the effect i.e. seeing what's going on behind the curtain.

The Dummies are back in town and we’re all kinds of delighted !! The talented lifeguarding trio take us on an almighty splish splashingly awesome adventure …
Squeezing a whole host of of bizarre antics into this very lively hour, we experience moments of Baywatch style lifesaving, impressive unicycling, brilliant beach volleyball, underwater shenanigans and proving there’s not a lot they can’t turn their hand to, even a dusting of shadow puppetry. The trio of clowns surprise and delight the adoring crowd expertly and as you’d imagine there are some interactive moments involving just a touch of water too – someone had ingeniously thought to bring their own swimming goggles along!! We are constantly reminded of the talents the Dummies possess too, expert acrobatics, juggling, balancing and slapstick are all made to look relaxed and easy in their unique style.

Did you know that there's a disco version of Sesame Street's 'Rubber duckie, you're the one' from the album Sesame Street Fever? Because there is and it's glorious. Thank you to Splash Test Dummies for introducing us to that.
Shadow puppets, water pistols, Baywatch running and a fight with a...

This time last year, the Trash Test Dummies were jumping around in bins. Now the same Antipodean acrobat-clowns are lifeguards in a mostly pleasingly anarchic hour, lobbing ‘Baywatch’, Cousteau and water pistols at the fourth wall to see what sticks, all whilst running among the audience or dragging them onstage....
