ENEMIES OF GROOVINESS EAT SH!T

Pre Edinburgh Showing | Open Rehearsal

23 Jul 2025

The team invite you to a public showing of Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t before we tour. The work is in rehearsal and won’t have full lighting or haze. The team are excited to share the show with you before we tour to Edinburgh Fringe – show some love and support Grumble on this latest love-making world-saving quest.

This show is a self reflective, regenerative dive into the compost bin of making and moving through the trouble; Bowing to the powers of Grief and Love Energy, Rage Energy, Hope Energy & Fuck Energy, Gibson invites you to sit with and honour the legacy of makers, mentors, friends, lovers and ‘enemies’ that have formed an ecosystem of aliveness within the perils of eco-grief and structures that certainly no longer serve us.

“Grumble does not belong to me, she belongs to the universe. Like the fractal landscape of a flower, like a drag face on the bum of a caterpillar. She has held me, and at this threshold of maturation, I let her become and unbecome me. Thank You Body!”

Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t is poetry, tribute, a rock n roll performance art collision, love scene and revenge fantasy. An unshaming dance and a chance to allow ourselves to be seen. You are invited into a sensual, surreal and sublime experience of an all singing, dancing, howling and loving cabaret du Sex Clown.
