One4Review ★★★★★
“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. This performance is an unmissable treat that leaves audiences with smiles and a new perspective on their ‘monkeys.’ You’d be bananas to miss it!
The Scotsman ★★★★★
You know you’ve struck gold when the grown-ups at a children’s show are laughing as hard (sometimes harder) than their young charges. It’s also a sign of success when little ones feel comfortable enough to interact, verbally and physically, in moments of clear glee but don’t disrupt a show’s flow. Garry Starr achieves all this and much, much more in his superb new family show, Monkeys Everywhere.
Yet it could easily not have been the case. A children’s show that attempts to capture and convey the performer’s mental health difficulties is ripe for moments where nobody knows quite what to think or feel. Fear not, because Starr and director Olivia Jacobs (of Tall Stories fame) have constructed an hour of fun that never stops giving.
The Guardian
Physical comedy, surreal invention and general silliness combine in a tremendously enjoyable show… The audience shriek their approval
