- Mon Oncle Le Bossu
(My Uncle the
Hunchback) 
Is it possible? That there is an instrument in
this world that’s made out of a rubber glove, a rubber band and a bagpipe? And that
you wear it on your head? Have you ever seen anybody play a rubber ducks bum?
Wellthis is your chance to be the first on your
block, because neither hasthe rest of the world. These are just a few of the incredible thingsyou
will see in this show. Watch As Mon-Oncle composes live on stage asong of love for his pet gold fish
Rudie, by playing some of his many inconceivable instruments of eccentricity:
- The Rubber Glove Bagpipe Hat
- The Electric
Guitar Fish Diving Helmet
- The Rubber Duck’s Bum
- The
Electric Kazoo
- The Saw (its better then it sounds)
- The Trombone
Kazoo
...and a multitude of other nick knacks and patty whacks to give this show a song.
And are you ready......for the
weird, the wonderful, the bizarrehighlights of this show that has made it a guaranteed crowd pleaser
around the world? So packed full of fun filled absurdity that it amazes and amuses audiences
of all ages! Okay, well, here we go… The Weird – well its all
weird! But the best is his weird and whacky ability to interact so effortlessly with his
audience.
The Wonderful – Flee, the finger puppet. This really is!A
“Finger Puppet”! With only one hand five fingers and a pair of googlyeyes Mon-Oncle
brings alive Flee. Watch this adorable puppet do hisincredible hand-balancing act. How can? A pair
of googly eyes be thatcute and that funny. The Bizarre – Fishy fishes leap of love,
has beendescribed by The Press as “a nonsensical, whimsical act of theuttermost
absurdity”. It will make you ask questions like why? Love, of course.
Why does Mon-Oncle make such music? Love of course. And why does Rudie, his
pet goldfish, defy gravity and tempt death in a daring drop from a perch high above
Mon-Oncle’s head. diving into his fish bowl so far below? Could it be? Of course it is.
it’s Love (and also of course the laughter of an approving audience)!
And… Is it possible to have all these questions and more answered? And
still leave the show asking yourself, “ Did I really just see someone swallow a 3 foot long
balloon and pull it out their bum as a poodle?” Yes, it is… ...and Mon-Oncle
is the only one who does it. Maycontain Entertainment

With ramp or help to place pram on stage if needed. Prefer to be lower than or level with
the audience
- SET UP time
-
- Setup time on
arrival to the festival is depended on where I come from andhow I get there. To be on the safe side
and my kit needs to be totallyset up. I would need to be on site one and a half to two hours
prior.
- Off stage: 30 min’s prior props set up.
- On stage: no set up
required
Build up time is minimal I have built this show as a walk on. So Iset up off
stage and from there I rove to the spot where I will beperforming.
- TEAR DOWN time

- Off stage:
30 min’s prior props set up.
- Indoor: with some help with prop removal. 2
min max

- OUTDOOR: 15 to 45 minutes, as you like
- INDOOR: 5 to 30
minutes, as you like (to be negotiated)
- Time between performances:
Minimum of 1 & ½ hours
Ihave built the show using a
“building blocks” concept; some pieces canbe removed or added as need be. The 15 minute
piece is usually walkaround improvisation with the baby pram. This can be incorporated asthe intro
to the 30 minute street performance. The other option is awhole 45 minute show as one set place.
Once again as you like. Mosteverything I do can be modified somewhat. It is what makes my showunique
and never the same show twice.
- DRESSING
ROOM
-
- Chairs
- Tables and
mirrors
- Drinking water
- Secure storage space
- Power (minimum 2
outlets)

Afterthoughts:I hope that I have explained the flexibility of my
show. I want you to know that it is bendable, shapeable and interchangeable.I
am open to different performance locations and always like to helpout the festival if there is
something unique requested. Also, if givethe proper amount of time and a lay out of the situation, I
can makesomething that is specific to a certain festival.
I Look forward to working with
you,
Dado
