“A glorious miniature musical that’s great fun for children and adults alike”
★★★★★
The Irish Times

‘A keen child-centred anarchy in the story translates perfectly to the stage.’
-The Irish Independent

If adults are mean to children, they get the Giggler Treatment. It's smelly. It's squishy. And it sticks to your shoe. But sometimes, just sometimes, the Gigglers make a mistake... Can Robbie, Kayla, Jimmy and Rover the dog come to Mr Mack's rescue before the poo hits the shoe?
