Crap at Animals

More species, more madness. An expanded sequel to the company's hit show, Vigil

Crap at Animals does exactly what it says on the tin: One man tries heroically and fails epically to do impressions of 48,000 rare animals in under an hour. Performance artist Tom Bailey tries his best to do things like a Persian Musk Deer, or a Voiceless Tree Frog, but is crap at it.

Created an expanded sequel to Vigil. Made in 2019, Vigil was made from a Red List of 26,000 extinct and endangered species. Unfortunately, since the pandemic, this list has almost doubled. The sequel takes in these new species names, responding to the new, post-pandemic situation of extinction.

Created for outdoor and indoor spaces.
