About Us
Silly • Funny • Noisy Shows
Lamphouse Theatre is based in the East of England and we tour silly, funny, noisy shows all over the UK.
We’re all about joy and impossible things; if it makes us laugh and feels like it can’t be done, it’ll probably end up in one of our shows. See, for example, one person performing the whole of War of the Worlds, on their own, with only cardboard props and an epic soundtrack.
We work with clowns, devisors, improvisers, comedians and musicians to tell stories in unexpected and exciting ways. All our shows contain tons of music, comedy, laughs and heart.
Artist Development is also hugely important to us. We support and champion early career artists to make their first pieces of professional work via our annual Switch Festival, which takes place in Peterborough. We also welcome work experience students, curious early career theatremakers and graduates into our rehearsal rooms throughout the year.
Lamphouse Theatre is run by Artistic Director Tom Fox and Producer Becky Owen-Fisher.
Switch Festival is supported by Arts Council England
