Monkey Trousers Theatre Description
Monkey Trousers Theatre is a Bristol-based theatre company producing and performing original plays for families and schools. It all began in April 2015 with the launch of the theatrical sitcom Mr Gotalot’s Gotalot Shop.
Need something new? Step inside the magical Gotalot Shop where you can buy anything and everything, and meet the friendly puppet shopkeeper Mr Gotalot, who is aided by the ever-eager shop boy Sidney. Will they be able to provide their customers with what they need before the conniving landlady Ms Barnet arrives to collect her rent? Customers stepping through those hallowed doors have been Super Alan, a struggling superhero, in The Pants of Power; Captain Andromeda, a space explorer, in The Snot Rocket; Professor Von Stroopwaffell, Mad Scientist in training, in The Chinchilla Thriller and Muggins the Dwarf, Santa's very first elf substitute, in Santa School.
Next came the launch of our groovy game show just for kids in July 2016, Bob Random’s Shiny Quiz Time.
Our super shiny host Bob Random, assisted by the ever helpful Penny Whistle, leads two teams through a series of exciting games and crazy challenges, cheered on by the awesomely shiny Quiz Time audience. Boggle your brain with the Quick-fire Quiz. Hop aboard the style-tastic Fancy Dress Express. Take aim for the ball-istic Bob‚Äôs Bucket Head challenge! The games continue until one winning participant is crowned Monarch of the Moment! Every contestant taking part will also receive a completely exclusive, limited edition Shiny Quiz Time badge ‚Äď as well as having a randomly fantastic time, of course!
And now we perform monthly at various venues around Bristol during term time Mr Gotalot's Pop Up Shop - an interactive storytelling adventure for 1 to 6 year olds.
