radikalu

Radikalu is a Pantomime society based in South London, specifically in the small neighborhood of Tooting. Founded in 1909, it is one of the oldest Pantomime clubs in the UK.

The club's main focus is on physical comedy, acrobatics, and mime. They have been associated with the UK-based minstrelsy tradition, often parodying blackface and minstrel-style acts, particularly during the Pantomime season. The club has been the subject of controversy due to its use of blackface in the past, but it has also been praised for its innovative approach to comedy and physical theatre.

The club's program is determined by the society's committee who manage the annual pantomime productions. These productions typically adhere to a traditional pantomime format, with an added twist in the form of physical comedy, often with a touch of parody. The clubs program includes auditions, rehearsals, and performances.

Over the years, the Radikalu club has had its share of deserving contributions to the institution attracting those that not only gain vital experience, but also begin to separate themselves as legitimate acts within the great world of pantomime and physical comedy, in particular. The Radikalu has undoubtedly richened UK life by challenging the norms of social obsession through comedy that rotates on the line of phases different characters representing a form of theater.
