Llamas Once Again Bringing the Funk

Every now and then, a Google Alert for “llama” comes up that seems promising, but
needs to simmer a little longer before we faithfully report the big news to you.

For this reason (and ok, a bit of a cluttered inbox), we now give you some
belated llama news that has been enhanced by time and a recently-released video.

Funky Llama, inspired by a similar concept in London called Beautiful Octopus, is a
community-theatre (we’re talking Britain now), cabaret show performed exclusively by
people with learning disabilities. Obviously, the name Funky Llama is meant to convey
the message of charm, fun, as well as inclusion that llamas are so directly associated with.

Hats off to the organizers, and if they need some real live funky llamas, llamasutra is very
well-connected, even across the pond. We’re here to help.

Check out the video of rehearsals, and lets all commiserate together over our collective
jealousy in not being able to attend the real deal. Also, we need to get our hands on those
shirts! Thanks BBC.
