After Dinner Speakers: The Reduced Shakespeare Company, Rory Bremner, Peter Hobday

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) celebrated its seventh birthday at the Criterion Theatre in London's West End in March. Recently nominated for The Laurence Olivier Audience Award for the Most Popular Show, it continues to be the longest running comedy in the West End! Matt ran away to the Reduced Shakespeare Company in 1996, joining the UK tour of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). He didn't suck, so before he knew it he was performing the Shakespeare show, as well as The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) and The Complete History of America (abridged) in the West End. Recently, Rippy directed a tour of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) in Ireland. Matt also wrote The Reduced Shakespeare Company's Complete Guide to London (abridged), a handy guide packed with pointless facts to clutter your mind. Rippy still carries forth the RSC tenet: Life is Short, Tempus Fugit, Reductio ad Absurdum.
