You Me Bum Bum Train: Tickets

Entries close at on 4 February. Successful entrants will then have 24 hours to purchase their tickets.


What is You Me Bum Bum Train?
Co-creators Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd have never revealed how they came up with the title of their show, which doubles as the name of their company. Perhaps it anticipated the fact that it would never reach a mainstream audience, be written about in newspapers, win both the prestigious Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Award and the Evening Standard Best Newcomer Award? They were wrong.


You Me Bum Bum Train - spoilers not allowed
You Me Bum Bum Train are the words on everyone’s lips as we enter the final week before tickets go on sale for the 2015 incarnation of their show, at an undisclosed location (all we know is that it will be in central London).
Although audience members are sworn to secrecy, the concept is now common knowledge; visitors go on a 40 minute journey, moving through spaces in which they themselves take on different identities. So you might step through a door and find yourself giving an interview in front of paparazzi or interviewing an inmate behind prison glass. The ‘theatre’ here is in the surprise; how (or if!) you ‘act’ is up to you.


Best immersive theatre in London 2016?
Like Punchdrunk, this magic is only made possible by the work of hundreds of unpaid volunteers with terrific stamina. Unlike Punchdrunk, there is a dramatic progression to this experience, as you move from environment to environment. YMBBT have evolved a style that captures something of our everyday lives today, constantly plunging us into different worlds, in cities, TV sets, phones and online. And audiences are being given the most essential of theatrical experiences; imaginative investment in another’s experience. Perhaps, despite the name, Bum Bum Train are not so left-field after all!

  • What the critics say

    THE GUARDIAN

    "it's such an extraordinary whirl of cunningly stage-managed spectacle that it leaves you dazed and dizzy... a triumph of stage management and logistics, offering the visceral thrill of the fairground ride."

    Lyn Gardner

    THE TELEGRAPH

    "There’s an incredible attention to detail in the sets, which are completely transporting. The whole show, lasting only 40 minutes, feels like a wonderful dream, where you might have to face your fears and live out your fantasies."  

    Daisy Bowie-Sell
