Counterminers CIC started life as a Fringe theatre comedy collective founded by Lew Forman in 2019 in Edinburgh. We have grown from strength to strength since, producing simultaneously in London, Nottingham and Edinburgh. With a diverse range of genres including comedy, musicals and immersive theatre, they became a strong and “much-loved” theatre collective.

Now, Counterminers is a registered Community Interest Company with an emphasis on supporting emerging artists’ professional development in the theatre industry. This comes in many forms, from producing short-run Fringe theatre and rehearsed readings, to small-scale investment opportunities, to workshops and events in collaboration with major theatre venues in the UK.
