--- title: "Yes Person | Assembly Festival" meta: "og:description": "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."

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. ## Show Trailer [![Video thumbnail](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nIWDTSI8Xuw/sddefault.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIWDTSI8Xuw) ##### Show Trailer [ ##
