Bongie and Ivan

This was our hand balancing routine, but it turned into a comedy routine . Bongie would  make up his  comedy during each one of his tricks. It seemed that he paid attention to the audience reaction and what the audience liked ….he did more of and he got funnier as the act continued. Of course I played the part of the serious animal trainer. I guess you could say I was a monkey’s straight man.  Bongie was about a year and one half old when I first acquired him. He was easy to train and never let me down. More about Bongie can be seen under the category “Henry’s Chimps.”
