Yes Person at Jacksons Lane
Yes Person brings Finnish New Wave Circus to the UK
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.
The performances will take place at Jacksons Lane in London on 9–10 October 2026 at 7pm.
The performance is supported by the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland. Other partners and supporters include: CIRKO - Center for New Circus in Helsinki, Subtopia, Arts Promotion Centre Finland, European Union and the Goethe-Institut, Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation.
