A hilarious tale of the pursuit of fame and fortune, and ultimately friendship, Ooga Chaka surprises with a steady parade of audio-visual gags and superb physical comedy. The right sprinkling of puns and referential humour to set a light tone, and strong character work to bring a healthy scoop of heart. I highly recommend it - you won’t even want your pebbles back.

Laughed So Hard I Cried

Wow! Ethan Zuchkan is a hilariously fabulous writer, can’t wait to see his future works. Cast is wonderful and the team behind the show are so cute with their merch and programs.

This sure fire hit about cave painters levelling up to a "theatre biz" boasts a zany script packed with industry gags by Ethan Zuchkan, a committed clown-rooted ensemble, & a preening heel turn by recent Dora winner Nick Eddie.

A screwball comedy about stone age theatre is both very funny and surprisingly affecting.
