About
Roll up, roll up, roll up and join your hosts Dr Sweetpea McGee, Gorgeous George and Sideshow Pony for heaps of madcap vaudevillian antics, knee-high jinx, and general tomfoolery. Thrill to the sight of Cha Cha the world's first sideshow monkey-man, be amazed by Pipi the levitating midget, ogle at the spectacle of Olga and Golga the slap-happy Siamese twins and set your toes a-tapping with the Sideshow Pony Ukulele Orchestra. But it doesn't end there. Get amongst it with crazed fan, the obsequious Hedda Hare as she gushes and fawns all over the entire array of outlandish showbiz oddballs.
The word ‘monkeyshines' is an old slang term meaning ridiculous and nonsensical behaviour and that's exactly what the show delivers. A good way of describing it is The Muppet Show meets Looney Tunes in the crazy and colourful world of an old-fashioned travelling carnival sideshow. It's pure, unadulterated silliness which all parents know is something that children absolutely adore.
Monkeyshines enjoyed an extended sellout season at the Sydney Opera House in 2008 and before that at the In The Raw festival of new work at the Darlinghurst Theatre in Sydney in 2006.
