The Department of Complaints

In honour of our national pastime, we have developed a show that celebrates, promotes and encourages GRUMBLING. In the form of a pop-up (weatherproof) office and with our 5 question survey, some useful props (including standard rose-tinted glasses) and the occasional strongly worded letter, Dusty and Sandy will hear your grumble and if necessary, take it further. No grumble is too big or too small for the department.
Vaguely 1960s in style and with a nod to the surreality of Mars Attacks, grumblers of all ages can either sit down and fill out a form (about 5-10 mins) or simply post their grumble on the outside of the tent, which then becomes a stimulating, visual spectacle over the course of the day.
After their consultation with the department, almost all of our clients feel much better, and those that don’t are in the perfect place to do something about it.
The Department of Complaints is an essential addition to any event, happily handling any issues that might arise.
After collecting the town’s grumbles with our survey we can present the data on the office flip chart, sharing the most common complaints and helping the community understand its issues.
Need to vent, let off some steam, got a problem, noticed a niggle? Let’s grumble!
