“The workshop was great, on the money in terms of the brief, well timed, etc – our students just needed to go with it and let loose! I’ll definitely be booking again.” – Framlington College, Suffolk
“I’m always banging on about Spymonkey. Whatever, I think they’re totally inspiring.” – Lucy Hopkins of LE FOULARD (ARTSHOW), winner Adelaide Fringe Best Theatre and Best Performer Awards, Prague Fringe Creative Award
“Our students loved it. I was a little concerned that they might retreat into their shells at the thought of ‘being funny’ but you were very adept at getting them to realise it was about playing things truthfully and not for laughs. I was delighted to see the entire group really go for it and have a lot of fun, exploring a theatre genre they haven’t before.” – Surbiton High School

“Having Toby and Aitor mentor my show was nothing short of a dream coming true. These master clowns and performers who I have watched and studied were helping me elevate my show to a higher standard. A good teacher makes you question your approach and makes you experiment with your craft, so having two master teachers on board really kept me on my toes. Despite the physical limitations of zoom calls and being in entirely different time zones, the results were amazing. Not only did I feel the quality of my show went up but I have learnt so much in the way of stagecraft and clowning. The confidence, love and expertise these men have for their craft is contagious. They helped fuel my passion for comedy and treated me as an equal anytime we spoke. It was a wonderful experience that taught me so much that I will hold on to forever. I highly recommend their services for anyone who wants to take their show to new heights and to be amongst giants of the clowning world.”
