James Seabright presents Yippee Ki Yay (the parody celebration of Die Hard) Written and performed by Richard Marsh Acclaimed retelling of classic film Die Hard  from 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).  This joyfully funny show comes to Riverside for Christmas 2026 following its critically lauded Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2022 and numerous sold-out runs in the UK and North America.  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. The 8th December performance is a preview, with tickets available at £5 off the regular ticket price. “Epically entertaining show is a love letter to a masterpiece” ★★★★ The Times, London “A beautifully written rom com” ★★★★ The List “An entertaining romp, and the secondary story about the relationship between two diehard Die Hard fans adds sweetness”  ★★★★ British Theatre Guide “Whether you’re a Die Hard fan or not, it guarantees happy trails” ★★★★ The Guardian   “Absolutely glorious! His rhyming Bruce Willis is spot-on, but it's the concurrent love story that really pulls you in” British C
