Welcome!

Parrot Punch is a theatre company of three early career fight choreographers: Jason Theodoulou, Martha Ibbotson and Matthew Allen, who have come together to make theatre using fight choreography as the genesis of their devising process. Their first show ‘Let’s Not Fight About It’ interrogates our relationship with violence in life and in entertainment.

LET'S NOT FIGHT ABOUT IT

Someone gets kicked in the balls. Somebody gets punched in the tit. Swashbucklers swordfight so hard their trousers fall down. Violence is funny! It exists unquestioned throughout all our media, from superheroes, to the news, to our Instagram stories. Innovative stage combat theatre company Parrot Punch asks us to recognize the stories of violence we get told. What does it mean when they are told for our entertainment? What does it mean when the violence we see in the real world doesn’t resemble those stories at all?. All in a single knee-slapping hour so funny you’ll…Die

Our Story

Who We Are

Parrot Punch — the only theatre company that treats a groin kick like serious dramaturgy — why do we laugh at violence on stage, cheer for it on screen, and then barely blink when we see it play out quietly in everyday life?

 

Parrot Punch, a vibrant theatre company based in London, specializes in stage combat to create compelling narratives. Our productions fuse innovation and artistry, delivering visual spectacles that captivate audiences. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, we redefine storytelling through dynamic fight choreography.
