Synopsis: Originally 'scratched' at London International Mime Festival in 2004 and eternally a work in progress. It is something in the nature of a hoax, a parody of pretentious concept performance with glossy production values but no content. Already offending the right sort of people - it is, in fact, a serious look at the mechanics of comedy and infers the amalgamated theories of humour and laughter of pretty much everyone from Freud to Scruton. http://www.ridiculusmus.com/ | ||||

Synopsis: A secret, a spa in Bangkok and two naked Germans ... In a world where anything can be indulged in and everything is permissible, Martin, a disturbed ex-pat, offers to share his tales of misfortune with Stefan, a jaded hack writer on a junket. Together they engage in an intricate exchange of complicated stories, weaving through movies, sex, celebrity and genocide in the hope that they will transform themselves, and, possibly the world. With its razor sharp dialogue and lightning pace, Tough time, Nice Time is challenging, vividly imaginative and utterly absorbing | ||||

Synopsis: Ridiculusmus's anarchic style of comedy is certainly not for the faint-stomached. Set in an asylum, it puts a tightly anal character next to a character with no inhibitions about genitals, dribbling, or leopard-spotted swimming costumes - so if you can't cope with ping-pong balls popping out of a pair of tumescent Y-fronts, or a man who seems unable to check the torrent of saliva flowing down his chin, maybe this is not the show for you. Rachel Haliburton, Independent | ||||
