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. From cavemen
telling "Rock Rock" jokes to Will Smith upset at Chris Rock’s jokes and everything in-between, the bad boys of
abridgment leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.
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 (Is Moliere funny? Why not?) to Vaudeville and Charlie Chaplin to The Daily Show and Anthony Weiner.
