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.

About Based on Kimberly

Yes Person is an experimental circus and performance art piece from Based on Kimberly, running 60 minutes at Central, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Created by Inka and Imogen, the show is described as new wave, new wonk circus — physical, fashionable and satirical. While Ted and Kimberly bask in the delusion of their own stardom, Ryan and Ken rap about hands, a bird disco unfolds and some ideas are simply eaten alive. Built on relentless yes-saying and a surplus of ideas that should have been cut, the show is described as a collage of fantastically terrible ideas — shamelessly embarrassing and stupidly high-level. The show contains voluntary audience participation and partial nudity.

Why see this show?

Experimental circus that wears its own excess as a feature — part performance art, part stand-up, entirely committed to its own chaotic logic. The kind of show that couldn't exist anywhere but the Fringe.
