M6 Youth Theatre workshopAqueous Humour has been teaching Comedy, Bouffon, Clown, and Mask techniques since 2001. We have run training events with groups at Contact Theatre, Bolton Octagon, M6 theatre, Oldham Coliseum and The Lowry. Aqueous Humour is currently leading on the Street Theatre performance module at Bolton University.

We now have a range of new courses on offer that are suitable for anyone aged 16+. All you need is enthusiasm and willingness to have a go at finding the freedom that makes you uniquely funny.

We run public training events throughout the year. You can find out about events by joining our Facebook page or go to our “What’s On” page on this website. Keep your eyes pealed dates coming soon.

We are happy to come to you! You can book a workshop from our programme or talk to our team about tailoring a bespoke training event for your school / business / theatre group. Our courses are fantastic fun and great for team building, loosing inhibitions and just having a laugh while developing skills in performance and creativity.
