The Reduced Shakespeare Company is an American comedy group founded by Dainel Singer, with the initial members being himself, Adam Long, and Jess Borgeson (today Creator/JessWinfield). They specialise in taking vast bodies of work (not limiting themselves to [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]]), that would take days to see in their entirety, whittling them down to the bare essentials, then whittling them down a bit further and filling the gaps with jokes. They arguably invented TheAbridgedSeries formula, also heavily employing TheAbridgedHistory.

They also made ''The Reduced Shakespeare Radio Show'' for Creator/TheBBC World Service, which was ''The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)'' reformatted into six half-hour radio episodes (examples for the radio show are currently placed in the main Shakespeare show's page). Although not strictly RSC shows, founder Adam Long made four Reduced-style quarter-hour shows for BBC Radio 4 about [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem British politics]] under the title ''The Condensed History of...'' (the three main parties and Big Ben).
