LEARNING THROUGH LAUGHTER

WELCOME
"TO THE UK'S LEADING ANIMAL SHOW WITH NO LIVE ANIMALS"
Congratulations! If you’re reading this, that means you’ve found the best animal education shows in the UK with one slightly unusual twist - not a single live animal (unless you count the presenting team!) We’re passionate about “Learning through laughter” and we know that a bit of silliness can go a long way towards helping people of all ages understand a bit more about some of the amazing creatures we share our planet with.
Following in the footsteps of our animal heroes like Sir David Attenborough, Steve Irwin and Dian Fossey, we consider it our responsibility and our privilege to entertain and educate as many people as possible - whole families of multiple generations come along and join in, clapping along, singing, laughing and learning.
If you love animals as much as we do, you might be a bit disappointed to come along to a show and not see any in the flesh, but there’s a good reason for it. We spend most of our days travelling, bringing fun and excitement to families around the UK and further afield. We wouldn’t have it any other way, but after years of cramming ourselves into vans and spending hours under hot stage lights, we had a bit of a lightbulb moment - we signed up for this life, but our animal counterparts didn’t.
Now, our audiences are introduced to creatures which have been brought to life with master puppetry, cutting-edge animatronics, and a variety of special effects. It’s better for everyone - the real animals get to stay comfortable at home with ample belly rubs and treats, the team get to work with colleagues far more predictable than their old furry and scaly co-stars (even if some smell slightly worse), and audiences get to meet an even wider range of creatures great and small than ever before. Have you ever tried sourcing a living, breathing Rhino for a 5pm show at a theatre in the Midlands? It’s a logistical nightmare!
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE DO
Learning through laughter is the simplest way to sum up what we do, but that might not give you a complete idea of what to expect - have a quick look at the video below which we think speaks for itself.
STAGE SHOWS
An Animal Guyz stage show is a spectacular and engaging experience for the whole family - you’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll wonder what exactly they’re feeding the team for them to bring such energy to each and every performance. Our shows are produced to translate to any space - whether you see us in a state-of-the-art venue on a cruise ship, a grand victorian theatre, or a marquee in a field in Yorkshire (we ticked off all of these in the space of a week in early 2025) you’re in for a treat.
TV SHOWS
The Animal Guyz have spent time both in front of the camera and behind the scenes on a wide variety of shows over the years - Coronation Street, This Morning, Judge Rinder - and even some stuff that wasn’t on ITV. Whether handling animals or advising on best practice, we’re proud to have contributed to not only great telly, but ensuring that animals are treated properly on and around set. If you check us out on YouTube you can find a few specific clips of what we get up to, as well as music videos for some songs from our live shows.
CONSULTANCY
Whatever you need help or advice on - whether it’s producing a stage show, something for TV, whether or not it’s even related to animals - The Animal Guyz team is made up of hugely experienced individuals who will most likely have been there, done that, got the t-shirt and sometimes the scars. We’re happy to lend our wisdom to anyone who could benefit, especially if it means helping to teach and entertain.
