Description

Achingly funny, rhyming retelling of classic (festive?) film Die Hard from Richard Marsh: Fringe First winner, BBC Audio Drama Best Comedy winner and New York cop (one of these is untrue). When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages' only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) pays affectionate tribute to the iconic 80s fan favourite. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber superfans and newcomers alike. Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists. 'Lovely, witty, delicious' ***** (Independent on Dirty Great Love Story). 'Heartwarming' **** (Fest on Wingman).

We saw the show poster on the mound & just knew we had to see this. Amazing interpretation of a legendary movie - YES IT’S A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!! with a personal back story woven in. Funny & a must for Die Hard fans. Richard is amazing. We were lucky enough to get a wee selfie too. Don’t miss this show!!!

Not sure what to expect, Yippee Ki Yay is a masterpiece of Die Hard done in poetic comedy form, interlaced with a personal love story by the performer (James Seabright). The two are intertwined beautifully into a piece that my wife, (not a Die Hard fan) stated, “That was brilliant! I loved it!). As a Die Hard fan, i must agree! Check it out!

A really talented and engaging performer and brilliantly directed too. The show was really great fun and highly energetic too with a real mix of comedy, action and poetic storytelling. A thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish, definitely one to go see if you can folks.

A talented performer who clearly has passion for the subject of his show. The performance was fun and engaging as the two storylines ran seamlessly as one with love, action and comedy all coming together in a poetic fashion to make for one very enjoyable performance.
