Touring Performances
It was a concert full of fun,
Everyone’s excited—don’t you know?
It’s so amusing, there’s no refusing,
Come along and see the show!
Hi Monkey fans!
Tomorrow we are throwing our much-anticipated, long-awaited, first-ever KID-FRIENDLY FUNDRAISER! We are so excited to be producing Barrel of Monkeys’ first ever CONCERT FULL OF FUN, for kids and the tall people who like to hang out with them.
CFOF features our very own Erick Deshaun Dorris, frontman for EDD and the Bored of Education. They’re gonna be the house band, and they’ll be backing up some great Monkey and friends-of-Monkeys singers, including Mike Mahler, Kate Staiger, and Brad Brubaker.
The show will be MC’ed by Joseph Schupbach and there will be plenty of other Monkey performers along for the ride, not to mention our very favorite local superstar, ROBBIE FULKS!
The Concert Full of Fun is TOMORROW at noon at the Viaduct! Come rock out with the Monkeys! All pertinent details here!
Face painting! Paper chains! Stroller valet? What, I ask you, could be more full-of-fun than that?! Hope to see you there!

Touring Performances
Hi fans!
It’s Meredith. I’m so excited about the ten year show and just like you I’m anxiously awaiting for the list of plays we will be performing. In my excitement, I looked back over my past 5 years of TWG. I’ve been a Monkey since right after the TWG five year anniversary show. In the past five years, the following list have been my favorite TWG plays to perform and to watch. I also had the pleasure of adapting the Biggest Fight ever and performing it on WTTW, so I’m hoping to hear “Boom ka Boom Boom Boom Ka Boom” in two short weeks!!!!!
Here is what my bust-a-gut-laugh-fest TWG ten year show might look like.
The Biggest Fight Ever
I can’t even tell you know much i love watching the cops… remember when Eric did the worm on stage?
The Women Rampage
This gives me chills
Princess Who Don’t Like Ketchup
Remember Oona’s ketchup sound effects!
