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

This event is in the Valborg Theatre on campus.
