The brainchild of two Adelaide percussionists, the Amazing Drumming Monkeys have performed live for kids and families at Festivals all over Australia. Their lively, contagious music-making and stories of dragonflies and frogs will charm Cairns Festival audiences with two free shows a day, over four days. Look for the percussive lower primates, or listen for their rhythmic magic, along the Esplanade during the final week of our season.

This is an adorable little variety show aimed at 2 - 8 yr olds, and is also great entertainment for all ages. The 2 monkey puppets (Bongo & Congo) play African drums, lead audiences in songs & dances, perform magic tricks and (low tech) special effects gags etc. The show also features beautiful positive messages, such as caring for our environment, and getting along with each other.

The Monkeys appeal to a great range of people, places, and events. The show has cute & funny monkeys for the kids, great drumming for the adults, variety segments for all ages, and a message for the world. The monkeys have been described as: The Next Wiggles (Territory Times), the next bananas! (Nicole Foote JJJ), **** stars. Beating Hi 5 hands down (Adelaide Advertiser).

Famous all over Australia, this show is not to be missed.
