The Ridiculous Rhyme Show was written and developed by CBeebies presenters Joe Chambers and Andrew Crawford who are best-known for playing First Officer Ditty and Professor Poet respectively, on hit BBC TV show The Rhyme Rocket.
​​
Now as team of six, they have visited schools and theatres all over the world (as far as New Zealand) and even headlined the famous Glastonbury Festival Kidz Field!
The Ridiculous Rhyme Show is a live and entertaining piece of children's theatre. It has been created to engage a primary-school-aged audience through the use of interactive performance and comedy. Throughout the production, children are encouraged to explore and enjoy English by way of imaginative wordplay. This freedom to play around with language can ultimately filter back into their work within the classroom.
​
Running time: 1 hour
​
The team also run a TV workshop for older children (9+). It’s a great opportunity for the pupils to gain an insight into the television industry and learn more about the career paths within it.
​
Our team are industry professionals who have worked in TV, theatre and film. We create our own production studio in the school hall and assign the children job roles before filming a few scenes.
