The Wholesome Hour 

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. 

“Polite Mammals is a marvellous sort of cheeky, off-the-wall sketch show for small kids. A cabaret for tots. It’s fun and it’s silly, but it’s also witty and sophisticated”, Stage Whispers.
