Written By: Melita Rowston and Benito Di Fonzo

Following Fringe fave 6 Degrees of Ned Kelly, Melita Rowston & Benito Di Fonzo explore the classic Aussie story of an underdog that becomes too successful for its own good. Part TED talk, part comic variety hour, THE GIANT WORM SHOW! is a hilarious journey into Australia’s obsession with Big Things.

1974: the tiny town of Korumburra, Victoria faces perilous decline until they capitalise on what they have bigger than anywhere else – a giant worm.

FACT – it’s the largest in the world.

One hundred metres of pink material later, Karmai the giant pink worm puppet is born! It spawned a worm festival, celebrity Worm Kings, and saved a town.

Then Karmai disappeared.

Now Melita Rowston journeys into worm country to find it.

Accompanied by foul-mouthed puppets wrangled by Benito Di Fonzo, she worm-watches in paddocks, worships a giant concrete worm and meets quirky locals whose lives were transformed by the pink puppet.

Her latest Shit Tourism Show (following fringe hit ‘6 Degrees of Ned Kelly’) celebrates Australia’s obsession with Big Things.

“Was it weird being Worm King? Well, I had been talking to an ostrich for 11 years…” Daryl Somers
