Stuffed
Slung Low at The Warehouse in Holbeck, Leeds, LS11 9RQ
Saturday 31st October 2026
This is about food banks. This is not about food.
This is about the bad stuff. This is an emergency. This is a clowning show.
Multi-award-winners Ugly Bucket present a blazing inferno of physicality, electronica, and uncompromising personal testimony from the frontlines of the UK’s food banks. As phones ring, guts spill, and sparks ignite faster than they can be extinguished, five clowns search for hope and community in the face of helplessness. Created in association with Liverpool’s Unity Theatre, STUFFED is a roaring call to action amidst the wreckage of a desecrated system.
More than a show, STUFFED is an invitation to gather - an evening of food, electrifying theatre, and empowering discussion illuminating the dark corners and exploring the power of collective action. All performances are captioned and accompanied by a free community meal and local food donation drive.
