Ridiculusmus

About us

Ridiculusmus is a multi-award winning theatre company that has been producing seriously funny theatre since 1992.

” If you think of amazing performers who you hang onto every word they say, their performances so incredible along with the actual writing, the two guys from ridiculusmus spring to mind.” Dave the electrician

“I swear, you’ll have never seen anything quite like it”  The Independent

The company’s co-artistic directors, David Woods and Jon Haynes, have established the company as a flagship UK performance group touring nationally and internationally with works passionately wrought from minimal resources that achieve the oxymoronic aim of being both serious and funny.

“One of our most refreshingly provocative theatre companies”  Time Out

The company has created over 25 original theatre productions and is regularly commissioned by venues including the Barbican, National Theatre, Royal Court, Soho Theatre, BAC and Arts House, Melbourne.

“They are without doubt, two of the most innovative talents working in British theatre”  British Theatre Guide.

Ridiculusmus is a multi award-winning theatre company that has been going for 32 years and is just hanging on by a thread. Since our annus horribilis of 2015 – a fire in Battersea Arts Centre destroyed our office and archive, we lost life-saving NPO funding – it has been a struggle to say the least. In the last year alone we’ve had ten funding rejections and now have very little left in the bank. We have cut our costs to the minimum and are only able tour our work to you by travelling on public transport, having no technician or set, asking theatres to find essential props for us, doing all the admin ourselves, sleeping on sofas or sharing discounted motels and relying on a small but invaluable network of supportive friends to accommodate us in touring gaps. In short, we are desperate to carry on doing the thing that we’ve been put on this planet to pursue and would welcome and be extremely grateful for your support.

If you would like to give a donation, no matter how small, it would be greatly appreciated.
