Yes Person by Based on Kimberly : Irish Premiere

Quintessential new wave, new wonk circus. Experimental, physical, fashionable, and satirical work by Inka and Imogen from Based on Kimberly. 

While Ted and Kimberly bask in the delusion of their own stardom, Ryan and Ken rap about hands, an entire bird disco unfolds, and some ideas are simply eaten alive. Built on relentless “yes-saying” and far too many ideas that should have remained killed, Yes Person drags its old darlings back from the grave and back on stage. Part stand-up circus, part performance art, it is a collage of fantastically terrible ideas— shamelessly embarrassing, stupidly high-level. 

Teen reviewer – ‘the show makes me want to work hard at school so I don’t end up like them‘ FIVE STARS
