Yippee Ki Yay - The Parody Celebration of Die Hard

Following a critically acclaimed UKand USA tours and two Edinburgh Festival Fringe seasons, Yippee Ki Yaytours the UK in spring 2025. Richard Marsh’s acclaimed rhyming retelling of classic (festive?) film Die Hard is joyfully funny and not to be missed.

When gunmen seize an LA skyscraper, off-duty policeman John McClane is the hostages’ only hope. This uplifting action romp (and unauthorised parody) celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. Essential viewing for Hans Gruber connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

Content warning: divorce, foot trauma, German terrorists.
