Introducing... the terrifying, the gigantic, wriggling Leech!

This captivating walkabout performance offers audiences a spine-tingling surprise; perfect for Halloween, monster mash, or any event craving a touch of eerie fun. 

Striking, slightly surreal and guaranteed to capture attention, The Leech stretches eight metres long and is accompanied by two underground puppet skeletons and a towering ringmaster on stilts. The show features a choreographed walkabout set to a haunting soundtrack, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. 

The Leech can be performed up to four times a day for 20 minutes each time and can be enhanced with additional skeleton puppets and a live band to ramp up the spectacle or scaled down depending on your budget.
