FAMILY SHOWS
I have performed at festivals including Greenman, Latitude, Wilderness, Camp Bestival & Glastonbury (as well as lots of book festivals). My shows are written for the whole family to enjoy, with lots of interaction, original music & silly jokes.
There are 4 shows listed below but if you are looking for a show tailored to your needs, I'd be happy to discuss possibilities
If you would like to book a show for your festival, theatre or library, please get in contact.
Rabunzel The Musical
Rabunzel The Musical is the story of a long eared rabbit who is locked away in a high hutch and learns how to turn her weakness into a strength. It is currently performed as a one-man musical. I perform all of the music live. It's interactive, inclusive & up-lifting. I recently performed it at the British Library for a live audience and as a downloadable resource. This taster tape uses that footage.
CinderGorilla The Musical
One man, two puppets, one audience. A ukulele, piano, trumpet, disco-dancing gorillas and an orangutan with a wand. Help create this all-singing, all-dancing musical full of heart and soul made for all the family.
Award-winning author / performer / musician Gareth P Jones presents a one-man, one-audience musical. Using a ukulele, piano, trumpet, loop pedal and two puppets, he asks you to help him turn his picture book into an all-singing, all-dancing musical extravaganza. Interactive, immersive, silly and funny with catchy tunes, thumping beats and singalong songs, carefully crafted for all the family to enjoy.
The Ministry of Mini Musicals now has 4 musicals on offer. Rabunzel, Snowy White & CinderGorilla are all based on fairytale books. Chicken Vs. Egg is the latest one. It asks and answers the question: Which Came First? The Chicken or the Egg. All of these shows feature live music, spontaneous interaction and lots of fun. Please drop me a line if you would like to book a show.
Mystery Makers
A one-man (one audience) show Mystery Makers sets the ambitious goal of creating a mystery story live on the spot. No plan. No limits. Some props. You, my audience will help the Fictional Detective write, direct and star in a brand new brilliantly-plotted whodunnit, full of twists, turns, drama, danger and herrings of every colour imaginable. Expect audience participation, an improvised soundtrack, off-the-cuff improvisation, fast rapping, laughter, a couple of admittedly awkward bits, ukulele playing, fun and a big gasp at the end when we discover whodunit.
