SKRIMSHANKS
You were raised to believe anything was possible. To never settle for second best. Follow your heart.
Now it's time to live the dream and you can't even get an interviewfor an unpaid internship!
From the depths of somewhere dark and unpleasant two distorted freaks scamper to the surface ready to hold a mirror up to your paltry existence. The frivolous frailty of your fragile life. Face your fears, laugh at your weaknesses. Skip into the night, lighter, unburdened. "Bouffon takes it's origins from medieval France. The disabled and mentally ill, exiled from the walled towns, were allowed back in once a year to mock the dearly held beliefs of the society that had shunned them.
We invite you to witness our beautiful, disgusting Bouffon double act. An exhilarating, hilariously confrontational satire on the human condition
REVIEWS
★★★★☆ THREE WEEKS
“In this nightmarish, fantastical performance, the two performers will interrogate, speculate and intimidate, until you’re left questioning all of your decisions. At times it seems completely improvised until the music kicks in and you realise that we are playing this game exactly as they want us to”
★★★★☆ FRINGE BISCUIT
“A darkly grotesque yet utterly loveable clowning duo indulge in hilarious improv & audience provocation. Choose your fate
★★★★☆ BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE
“the charm of the improvisation and quick-witted acts of the two "Bouffons" and their technician ensured that it was a brilliant escapade. Ironic then that a scrimshank is one who shirks their responsibility; this pair did anything but”…“with an open mind and a good sense of humour, you'll have a wonderful time”
