A Glimpse into Who We Are
A little Introduction
When Richard was in his early twenties, he led the team of gorillas breaking out on the streets, offices, and parties of Sydney, Australia.
Richard is one of the very first original Gorillagram actors during the companies founding stages. From its inception and official launch in the early 1980's, he brings years of expertise and experience to the party
"I can still remember the fun and the smiles on people's faces when we showed up. I just had to do it again. "Life really is too short to be serious," Richard

Our Features
Hens Night
The girls decided that male strippers were inappropriate for the hen's event, so kept it clean with a bongo beating, banana throwing, big hairy fun loving Gorilla
It was a fun night for all in the vineyard a beautiful setting for a hen's night, until a Gorilla turned up out of the blue and all hell broke loose, well sort of a little bit of screaming and lots of giggles lots of laughs.
