Rimski's Bicycle Piano was established 2005... created by Oliver Cumming. In 2017, Rimski unveiled his latest invention: the Double Bassicle. Laura Pocket joined him to ride and play it, and thus came in to existence, Rimski & Handkerchief, the much loved musical clown duo, chiefly known for their spellbinding duets on the marvellous musical machines.

They are also the house Performance Artists and primary hosts of Rimski's Yard- the travelling stage venue; known for its presence at Glastonbury Festival. ...An extended colourful crew of friends, family and colleagues form to co-create the Rimski's Yard, along with a host of guest artists; providing variety entertainment, within a 360 degree playground, for all ages to enjoy... with Rimski & Handkerchief's Wind Up At Home antics at its heart, the pair may also be seen amidst other performance Art spectacles, such as Trapeze shows, demonstrations with The Umbrella Machine, and collaborations with other fabulous clowns, musicians and circus performers.
Rimski's Yard is creatively directed and produced by Oliver Cumming & Laura Pocket ...​ browse the Rimski's Yard​ history & touring journey to learn more.

The aim of Rimski's Yard is to produce magical moments and welcoming spaces, where people can temporarily step out of time and into the realm of dreaming without boundaries, and nourishing the senses- with an open heart and wonder, that is not commonly encouraged... We believe this is much needed medicine for the modern human, and a powerful antidote to the world's current struggles.
​
In the famous lockdown of 2020, Rimski & Handkerchief presented a live streamed TV style show, Saturday Live at 5:05, which kept up the spirits of a global audience for 11 consecutive weeks.
​
​Rimski & Handkerchief specialise in street theatre; walkabout & static shows- and the creation of pop up worlds in any spaces.
