Locally reknown impressionist Steve Waste of Space will be taking his show "The Magic of Recycling" to Reading's schools over the coming weeks. Through the use of audience participation, comedy and the visual impact of magic, pupils learn what recycling is, why it's important, and how to do it.
Steve told us: "People often ask me why I'm known as a great impressionist. Well, it's because I like to send out as many council press releases as possible, giving people the impression that I'm doing something, whilst in reality I let mountains of bottles pile up on doorsteps and refuse to initiate kerbside collections." Excited audience member Davie Sutton aged 6ΒΌ of New Town Primary said after watching the show: "I never believed that turning glass into Glasphalt to build roads was recycling and I'm happy to see that Stevie Waste agrees with me."
The show finished with a unanimous response from the kids to Waste of Space's trademark "What do you think of Reading's recycling show so far?" - "RUBBISH!"
