REDUCED Shakespeare Company present The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) at The Courtyard on Monday, March 23.
They’ve skewered history, the Bible and the world’s most celebrated playwright, now the Reduced Shakespeare Company tackles the subject it was born to reduce.
From the high-brow to the low, The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) covers comedy through the ages, from Aristophanes and Shakespeare and Moliere to Vaudeville and Charlie Chaplain to The Daily Show and Nick Clegg.
From cavemen telling “rock-rock” jokes to Chris Rock and everything in-between, the bad boys of abridgement leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.
The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) will be at The Courtyard on Monday, March 23 at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk
