They've skewered history, the Bible and the world's most celebrated playwright. Now, the Reduced Shakespeare Company debuts its latest world premiere here in Cincinnati. This brand new show seeks to answer one of life's great mysteries: What makes people laugh? From cave men telling "Rock Rock" jokes to The Daily Show 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.
