Robert Armin information


Title page of Armin's The History of the two Maids of More-Clacke, 1609. The woodcut shows Armin onstage.

Robert Armin (c. 1568 – 1615) was an English actor, and member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men. He became the leading comedy actor with the troupe associated with William Shakespeare following the departure of Will Kempe around 1600. Also a popular comic author, he wrote a comedy, The History of the Two Maids of More-clacke, as well as Foole upon Foole, A Nest of Ninnies (1608) and The Italian Taylor and his Boy.

Armin changed the part of the clown or fool from the rustic servingman turned comedian to that of a high-comedy domestic wit.
