J U M P !

Well, I was going to tell you about the fabulous show we saw tonight but after switching the news on while the kettle makes the bedtime cuppa, the images of flooding and damage in other parts of Seoul and elsewhere, bring sobering thoughts.

Apparently, Seould has had the most rain in a century and since Tuesday, as much rain as they would expect throughout the whole of the rainy season ! !
They're geared up for wet weather with brolly makers doing good business. When you go inside somewhere there is a stand by the front door, similar to an umbrella stand to park it, however you push your brolly down and then pull it forward and eh voila!, the brolly is sheathed! Unfortunately, think of all the plastic just thrown away!

So, I'll just tell you that if you get the chance to see the comic martial arts performance, Jump, . . . . . you know what I'm going to finish with.

A small handful of characters act out with hardly any script the story. It's a bit like a Whitehall farce with a karate chopping and leaping family.

With a bit of unexpected audience participation (no, Dad escaped) and in this instance it was Gary from Canada, did you know he was coming here Matthew?! The children's gasps and shrieks and giggles added to the hilarity. I've not heard that in a long time!

According to the brochure they appeared in the Royal Variety Show at the London Coliseum in 2006 and had a long run at Peacock Theatre, London.

Again, I tell you, type it into your Googly thing and seek them out.

Haaaaa So ?!
