Reduced Shakespeare Are Back With Their Latest Rib-Tickling Show

Reduced Shakespeare Are Back With Their Latest Rib-Tickling Show

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.

Following a hugely successful season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014, the Reduced Shakespeare Company brings their latest hit production to The Atkinson this February.

From the high-brow to the low, The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) covers cavemen telling “Rock Rock” jokes to Chris Rock, and everything in-between, as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

Tickets to The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) are far more affordable than tickets to an amusement park, but you’ll come away with the same feeling of nausea and motion sickness.

Since 1981, ‘The Bad Boys of Abridgement’ have created nine stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots and numerous radio pieces.

Their first three shows, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) enjoyed a nine-year run at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly Circus.

Not only were they London’s longest-running comedies, but at one point the Reduced Shakespeare Company had more shows running in the West End than Andrew Lloyd Webber.

All ages will thoroughly enjoy the event but we recommend 12 years and upwards.

The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) at The Atkinson starts at 7.30pm on Sunday 8 February. Tickets are £15 (£13 concessions) and are available online at theatkinson.co.uk or by calling the Box Office on 01704 533333. They are also available over the counter during The Atkinson opening hours.

Please be advised that there is a £2 booking fee for telephone and online sales.
