The Age, Melbourne

Discard all the preconceived notions you have about ventriloquists, because Nina Conti and Monkey blew us away.

The Montreal Gazette

Gut-bustingly funny and the crowd roared their approval throughout ... trust me, it is yet another ingeneous, adventurous conceit that has had a real comic intelligence applied to it. This is a really well thought out, clever, witty and downright brilliant show. Wonderful entertainment performed by an artist at the peak of her powers.

The kind of sophisticated intelligence that can virtually reinvent the genre [of ventriloquism]… For any self-respecting adult looking for comedy that’s truly outside the norm… this is unmissable stuff.

Exquisitely performed… Nina Conti is a terrific, experienced ventriloquist.

The Times, UK

A gem… funny, poignant and novel… Conti gives ventriloquism a thouroughgoing deconstruction.

The Guardian, UK

She's highly-polished, exuberant and playful, with an act that's fluid, technically faultless and utterly engaging.

If you like your comedy nasty and filthy, you will find plenty of joy here.

Had us in stitches ...20 minutes of the finest monkey magic.

The Scotsman

Funny and assured.
