Description
The magic of David Attenborough live on stage! A blue whale swims through the ocean depths. Racer snakes pursue a young iguana across the desert. Watch as two hapless but enthusiastic clowns recreate extraordinary scenes of the natural world – a world teetering on the brink of disaster. Catch this sell-out five-star show for an epic hour of clowning, physical theatre and the largest range of animals you will ever see on stage! 'Highly nuanced impressions and hilarious exchanges abound... the standing ovation probably says it all' (GreatScott.media).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A great show, living up to expectations. Very funny and at times serious too. It even appealed to my 17 month old Granddaughter.

Brilliant fun! A pair of rubber-bodied, rubber-faced performers manage to recreate all those moments we remember so well from Blue Planet, Life on Earth and so forth - and are hilariously funny in the process.
Sit at the front for maximum animal action - you might even get half a squashy banana!
