Classy Gorilla Singing Telegrams
Gorilla and Kids
Overview
Few gifts provide the surprise, humor, and memories like a singing telegram.
Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, office party or any other occassion, you can't beat the look on people's faces when a gorilla in a tux shows up and starts singing.
Nathaniel Jones is a professionally trained actor and singer who has been performing in the Puget Sound area for over ten years, and is now your best choice for a unique gift in the South Puget Sound area, everywhere from Olympia to Seattle.
You choose the songs, costume, gifts, and location, and I show up for a celebration you won't forget.

What to expect
The Classy Gorilla (or other character of your choice) arrives at the destination, locates the target, and before he or she knows what hit 'em, the gorilla is singing and dancing, cracking jokes, and posing for pictures if desired. Afterwards, the gorilla vanishes into the mist, leaving them to wonder "who was that Classy Gorilla anyway?"
