Ugly Bucket are surely one of the most innovative and creative theatre companies on the fringe circuit today.
If the rest of their work is even close to this standard, the UK should be holding them up as the finest example of what can be achieved by our creative sector.
- All that dazzles (Good Grief ★★★★★)
a multi award winning company based in Liverpool. We create hilarious gut-punching shows that combine clown with physicality, original music and personal testimony.
We are often outrageous, audacious and always honest.
Beyond our shows, we champion the clowning practice as a dynamic tool for community bonding, self exploration and social change.

Good Grief - The Graphic Novel. Winner of New Diorama, Underbelly and Methuen Drama's Untapped Award 2022.
Multi-award-winning physical comedy company Ugly Bucket process the death of a friend in the only way they know how – through a kinetic maelstrom of outrageous clowning, personal testimony and a thumping techno soundtrack.
This edition of Good Grief is richly illustrated by artist Kidda Kinsey, in an explosion of whimsical art that brings the show sharply from the stage onto the page. It was published to coincide with the production at Underbelly Cowgate, Edinburgh, in August 2022.
