Running Time: 55mins no interval


Skeeta Anderson’s got a problem. He’s woken up without his bum. He soon realizes that he’s not the only one without a behind! All 496 citizens of the town of Bugalugs are BUMLESS!

Along with his best mates Mick Misery and Billy Marbles, Skeeta sets out on a side-splitting adventure to track down the culprit of the crime.

On the way we meet the colourful characters of Tim Winton’s much loved story including Skeeta’s mum and dad, Mick’s Mum the miserable Mrs Misery, Billy’s sister Mavis Marbles, the sleepy Constable Coma and the school teacher Mr Wally.

Monkey Baa’s hilarious adaptation of The Bugalugs Bum Thief has toured across five states and territories, on four separate occasions, playing to over 100,000 young people.

A decade later, this hysterical adventure returns to the stage for a new generation of young people and their families to enjoy. Join Skeeta and his friends in this ripper adventure that will have you singing along and laughing your own bum off!

And besides that, bums are funny!

Fantastic! The children loved it. They have not stopped talking about it or singing the songs. The actors were top class.
Teacher Benalla West P.S Victoria

Bright colourful, action packed, very funny, very close to the actual storyline, great to see the children involved in the story.
Teacher Korumburra PS VIC

We loved it. The smiles on the faces and their focus on the performers was worth bottling.
Teacher East Ulverstone PS TAS

Ages: Perfect for Children & Families Ages 4-10
