Polite Mammals is a totally wild, neo-vaudevillian variety show the whole family can enjoy. Celebrate animals of all kinds: real, imaginary, sparkly, stinky, polite and rude!

Inspired by iconic 90s Aussie kid’s TV (The Ferals, Lift Off, Recovery) Polite Mammals rockets along, introducing 20+ animal inspired characters in under an hour. Expect farting skunks, a dancing praying mantis, Frankenstein cockroaches, and even a singing Bin Chicken (AKA ibis).

This is all ages Aussie comedy at its silliest. Polite Mammals includes puppetry, dance, original music and absurd mischief.

This show was originally created at ArtPlay in collaboration with actual human children aged 5-9. The design is visually stunning: high fashion and drag inspired, while giving a nod to the DIY, homemade aesthetic of Playschool. Cartoonish cardboard instruments and repurposed household objects feature alongside couture costumes.
