Amazing Drumming Monkeys - 20 Year Anniversary Show

Kids and Family • Comedy
South Australia

The Monkey Show is now 20 YEARS OLD!!! And still going stronger than ever.

Australia’s favourite little kids’ puppet show is back in the Garden of Unearthly Delights for another fabulous fringe season. This is a “must see” for families with young children.  

A clever combination of puppetry, live music, comedy, and heart-warming themes.  It’s a funny and engaging show for the whole family.  Funny monkeys for the kids, great drumming for the adults, variety segments for all ages, and a message for the world.

SOLD OUT in 2023!  Toddlers, little kids and parents will be laughing, dancing and drumming together!  It's a fantastic show.

The Amazing Drumming Monkeys Show is one of Australia’s most popular children’s entertainment acts. Based in Adelaide (South Australia), the “Monkeys” have performed thousands of shows all over Australia and internationally for the past 20 years. Performances range from major international festivals, to kindergartens and everything in between.

The monkey show is the brainchild Xavier Beaubois and Troy Moore, who worked together performing and developing the show for 15 years (Circa Nov 2003). Troy Moore left the act in 2019 and Xavier is now the sole owner and manager of the Amazing Drumming Monkeys. He now works alongside Adelaide based drummers Andreanna Massacci, Tim Bennett, and his own daughter Cedar Beaubois.
