  Fun Guy Theatre

  Co-Producer

  Fun Guy Theatre is an award-winning, artist-led collective founded by East Asian migrant Chris Fung, dedicated to unearthing visceral new narratives that challenge the boundaries of contemporary British playwriting. Since its inception, the company has established a reputation for “audacious, genre-defying” work that prioritises urgent social commentary and experimental form, often collaborating with emerging voices from underrepresented Global Majority backgrounds.

  Fun Guy Theatre’s previous productions have garnered critical acclaim for their sharp wit and uncompromising emotional depth. As they continue to bridge the gap between grassroots activism, through initiatives like Camino Meets and large-scale performance. The company remains a vital force in the UK’s theatrical landscape, consistently interrogating the stories we tell and the means by which we tell them.
