Following a hugely successful, critically acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year the bad boys of abridgement will finally tackle the subject they were 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 to Vaudeville and Charlie Chaplin.

From cavemen telling ‘rock rock’ jokes to Chris Rock and everything in-between, the RSC ensure that no joke is left untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

The group are at the Lakeside Arts Centre in Nottingham on 17th February at 8pm.
