Description

Tupac never died... he was reincarnated. No one would have believed the greatest rapper of his generation was reborn as a half-Indian, half-Irish boy on the rural south-west coast of Ireland about as far from west coast hip hop as possible. But this is what seventeen-year-old Liam believes with his entire heart and soul. Boy in Da Korma is a comedy solo show – featuring live music, hip-hop and Irish trad – about one kid's desperate attempt to belong as much as he wants to stand out.

Skilful and heartfelt show weaving together lots of themes. Was a unique & really enjoyed. His Cork accent was pretty good too. Interested to see what else Jais creates in future.

This one man show was AMAZING. The first thing we saw at Fringe and haven’t stopped talking about it since. It was incredibly moving and funny and such an interesting story from a fresh perspective. The acting and overall performance was unmatched. You won’t regret giving this a watch!

Highly recommend this one man show in this intimate space. Both funny and poignant, bringing characters, places and events to life through clever writing, acting, music and simple props and projection. I personally knew very little about rap but this didn't matter at all - the writing made the humourous references clear and cleverly wove rap, trad Irish, and Van Morrison together. Definitely recommend this as worth including n your fringe planner.

deftly combines humour, vulnerability, and a deep exploration of identity.
