The Wild Wigglers is a visual comic trio emerging from the back end of punk with a suite of interchangeable three-minute simple cartoonesque dance bites which could be performed on stages, tents, stadiums and television. The basic costume is a spiral yellow and black stripe that emphasises each performers extreme height with added props; cardboard dogs, conical dunces’ hats, small chairs, deflated conical hats, hooped frocks.

Premiere 29th August 1982 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

‘The Wild Wigglers from Brighton, a cross between tribal fetish and electropop, wear dogs on their heads among other things and are this years truly bizarre art entertainment’
Performance Magazine
