West End is good for Fighting

Jump

Astonishing Kung-fu comedy Jump has arrived at London's Peacock Theatre. Mixing martial arts with comedy, the show features Tae-kwon-do, sword fights...and a karate-chopping mother.

The show was a huge hit at the Edinburgh Festival last year, and is running until the 26th of February.

It centres on a typical, but spectacularly agile Koren family, each a martial arts hotshot. They spend their days, cooking, cleaning, eating - and challenging each other to martial arts showdowns. When a group of idiotic burglars turn up things can only go one way...

It's been described as Jackie Chan meets Buster Keaton, and the Korean company Ye-Gam Inc promise a show that really kicks!

You can see a brief video clip here, and also a gallery of stills:
