The Crate Show, Alexander Theatre, Monash University, Clayton Campus, Melbourne, April 2007.

The Leaping Loonies are a comedy acrobatic act with it's roots firmly planted in Vaudeville and Circus.Their entertaining, athletic, non-stop performance lures the audience in with a structure more akin to Drama than gymnastics.

From a low key beginning they build interest in the characters by establishing relationships between the 'boss' and the 'workers' who develop from subservient to rebellious in a truly Australian way.

The Leaping Loonies provide ideal entertainment for the family through good old fashioned fun. It's a chuckle from start to finish with occasional thigh-slapper big laughs.

The audience leaves the theatre with a smile and envy for the level of fitness, the confidence and the talent they have been privileged to witness.
