The Loose Dick Kiddies Show
Directed and Written by Kylie Milne and Daryl Wrightson

A childrenโs show like never before,ย The Loose Dick Kiddies Showย is a wild trip down memory lane and through the minefield of sexuality and social politics! Big kids from around NZ can see them duringย Aucklandโsย Pride Festivalย onย 12thย and 13thย February, theย Wellingtonย Fringeย fromย 3rdย -6thย March, and inย Dunedinย fromย 10thย -12thย March.
Join the hosts ofย Theย Loose Dick Kiddies Show,ย Lucy Flapp and Dick Dickson, in their 1970โs styled set as they pay homage to shows such as Playschool, Rainbow and, well, South Park. Named in theย Best 5 Auckland Fringe 2015 Characters by Metro Mag, Lucy is a teacher by day and a stripper by night, whilst Richard is a failed actor with addictions and demons.
Who’s that tapping at the window? Why look everybody! It’s Loose and Dick, your hosts, here to show you a good time! Come in and watch the Children’s T.V. show that been refused air-time.ย Get ready for teddies, instruments, story time, quirky crafts, dance and even a party for Pat the Pre-op postman! All your favourite songs will play like ‘Deary me it’s the IRD’, โIf you’re happy and you know it fiddle with a friendโ and โThe drug dealer is the heart of your communityโ – and let’s face it, no show would be complete without the appearance of Lucy’s beaver!
Created by those from a generation that has seen it all, this rude and raucous show is a cutting commentary on how society deals with social issues from transgender stereotypes to the Auckland housing crisis.ย The Loose Dick Kiddies Showย premiered in the Auckland Fringe Festival 2015 as a late night show, and the sell-out houses and audience feedback has encouraged a return season and national tour.
Expect a heavy dose of reality in this unreal R18 bonanza of social criticism, sexual politics and happy-go-lucky fun. Meet all your favourite friends like Lily the Lesbian and Hump Me Dump Me, as the cast deliver a playful, humorous and entertaining show full of song, dance and expletives!
