ARTISTIC POLICY
dotComedy was formed in 1998. Since their inception the company have developed an acclaimed style of working performance, which mixes realistic characterization and situations with bizarre and surreal overtones to produce cutting edge street art shows, which delight and at the same time confuse their audience. They are renowned for their unique take on reality – creating installations, walkabouts and shows that mix the mundane and the absurd with hilarious results. dotComedy are true mavericks of the street scene.
