We’ve been making street theatre since 1980. Whether on a street, in a theatre, in a school, in a bar or on a hillside, our purpose has always been clear: to produce original, accessible comic theatre.

Desperate Men can be hired for festivals or events. Our current animations include: ‘Kippered in’, ‘Film Crew’, ‘Dancing Bears’ Cheese’, ‘The Karoake Taxi’, ‘The Pirates’, ‘Rubbish Heads’ and - new in 2007 ‘Eco-Pirates’. On this site you’ll also find information on the company’s history, who we are and what we do. We are also involved in education work, networking and promoting street theatre. Our current major project over 2007 & 2008 will be the Severn Project.
