Yippee Ki Yay
Tickets From £26

Venue

Riverside Studios

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 Studios 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.
