Description

Join award-winning Garry Starr as he tries to find calm amongst the mayhem that fills his monkey mind. Monkeys Everywhere is a show for all ages – but especially for those who can’t always keep their monkeys under control... Created with Olivia Jacobs, director of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom, Monkeys Everywhere contains puppetry, clowning and a huge amount of heart. You’d be bananas to miss it... Praise for previous work: 'An absolute delight' ***** (Scotsman). 'From clownish chaos to feats of comic genius' (Guardian).

What a great show. Garry is a really charismatic performer who kept the children and adults engagded throughout the performance. It’s a very original show with enough jokes for the grown ups and plenty of silliness for the kids. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and would recommend it.

An absolute joy - adults and kids all laughing like drains and getting right into it. Loved the whole show and particularly loved seeing kids’ delight in participating. Unmissable for anyone here with young children.

This show is brilliant. Great physical slapstick and silliness, a funny storyline that had all the kids engaged, plus a comic delivery and 4th-wall type stuff that gets the adults laughing too.

Superb! Gary is without doubt a very talented performer - expressive, creative and possesses the gift of comedic timing. Such is his skill, that he willingly plans 15-20 kids on stage with him, and arms them with miniature beach balls and various other missiles. The resulting pandemonium he has to adlib to has to be seen to be believed! An extremely impressed parent, and child . A must see for young ones that will be very difficult to beat!

This is a great show, really funny the kids in the audience had a brilliant time and I feel like I enjoyed it just as much. It’s not easy to do ‘meaningful message’ and ‘childish pandemonium’ and pull it off but it really did. Also I loved the set. This is the fringe show to take your kids to.

It indeed suits all the ages - I had a good laugh being an adult, and my company of three teenagers liked it, too. Having lots of small kids in the audience helped, too, as their genuine reactions and their comments are half of the fun, but part of Garry's jokes were tailored for adults, too. I totally recommend this show for the whole family!

“Monkeys Everywhere” is a blend of laughter and insight, deftly addressing the importance of understanding our mental landscape. Starr’s ability to transform complex themes into a light-hearted, family-friendly experience is nothing short of genius.
