YIPPEE KI YAY

Critically acclaimed, Best Comedy Award-winning show

This festive season, gather ‘round for Yippee Ki Yay – a retelling of the hit movie Die Hard by Richard Marsh, Fringe First-winner, London poetry slam champion, BBC Audio Drama Best Scripted Comedy Drama award-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… Yippee Ki Yay is an uplifting action romp (and unauthorized parody) that celebrates the iconic 80s festive favourite, while also telling the personal story of a life-long Die Hard fan. It’s essential viewing for Hans Gruber connoisseurs and newcomers alike!

The joyfully funny show premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 to critical and audience acclaim, returning in 2023. And now you can experience it on stage in Toronto this holiday season! Sign up for priority access to a Yippee Ki Yay ol’ time.
