“Silly plus serious equals a great live show …further proof of the power of evolution in Vancouver Theatre.”

“Over the years we've seen the kids grow from shy little toddling ‘angels’ to confident trapeze artists; love and pride has flowed like honey from stage to audience.”
Vancouver Courier

“It's known that you can't tickle yourself, so let the show that Leaky Heaven calls Bonobo! do it for you”
