Richard Gadd: Monkey See Monkey Do

Richard Gadd, winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show 2016, looks at masculinity and mental health in his genre-busting multimedia performance, featuring a treadmill and a man in a monkey suit.

What kind of monkey you ask? Is it real? Is it metaphorical? A mere comic device? A poor attempt to fill space in this blurb? A sexual fantasy? Gareth Bale? A snappy title decided before the brochure deadline that later hindered the creative process when monkeys had to be incorporated into the show somehow? Only time will tell...*

*...it's metaphorical.
