The Tripmaster Monkey

About Me

The Tripmaster Monkey was discovered in 1902 by the pop svengali Martin Keown. In the early days, he made electronic music using a steam powered PC wired directly to his brain. Since then he has sold out the following venues - Monkeyworld (Devon, 1946) Aunty Ethel's house (Leeds, 1912) Spain (Spain, 2005). He was recently celebrity guest of honour at the formal opening of Drew Barrymore's new chin.
