Yes-Ya-Yebo is a high-energy singing and dance group of 10 individuals that celebrates the 12 official languages of SA. From the gumboot dancing, and The Click Song, to Jerusalema, the cast brought energy with emotional depth that made audiences laugh, cry, and drawn to join in the dancing. Media and audiences members expressed that YYY was their favourite show at The Fringe, and received doube Five-star reviews from "One 4 Review" & Mervin Stutter's "Pick of the Fringe".
