Probably the last showing see this year and what a way to finish the the Fringe.
The musical genius, high energy, humour and crowd involvement were fantastic.
Thank you so much.

These guys are not just drummers, they are absolute geniuses and extremely entertaining too. From start to finish they engaged the audience in a masterful display of musicianship and threw in plenty of surprises to keep us all on our toes. Would love to see them at a proper music festival as I think they would be exhilarating!

Wasn’t sure about a drumming show but it filled a space in our Fringe day. What a lucky choice. Very entertaining show, by two excellent drummers. Well done!

BLOWN AWAY - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!

To be honest, after the first 10 minutes of very impressive "drumsmanship", I started to wonder if the rest of the show was just more of the same - which would have been utterly boring. Fortunately, I was wrong! It was very entertaining and certainly more than just 2 fellows beating on their drumsets for an hour. In fact, this show would have been perfect around 9-10pm since at the end, you really feel as though you are in one big party!

Magnificent performers. Funny, thrilling and these guys never stop upping the ante of what can be done with percussion. If you're a fan of spectacle or music this is a must

A wonderfully exhilerating and playful show, appropriate for all ages! The drumming and light show was spectacular, and impressively choreographed together. The duo's incredible skill was wrapped up in cleverly competitive playful antics. A must see for this year's Fringe.

Amazingly entertaining! Went with 2 kids aged 12 and 6 and all of us smiled and ‘wow’d’ the whole way through it. Great music, very entertaining skills. Highly recommend!

The audience was spellbound by the opening sequence of sound and lights and then the real fun started. The programme was spectacular commanding the entire audience, both young and old, and everybody took part. We observed two small children bouncing, clapping and laughing with everyone. We shall be going back with our grandchildren. An experience of a lifetime not to be missed.

Fills Monkey are an electric duo who packed an entire concert into their hour long show! Early contender for my pick of the Fringe; I will be recommending it to everyone I know! Merveilleux!
