Can you remember all your dreams from the past week? Mr Sleepybum can. And he’s going to re-enact them for us in this high-energy show that’s packed to bursting with silly sketches. Bristolian physical comedian Jody Kamali convinces unsuspecting audience members to help him recreate his craziest dreams, the results of which are often funny, and sometimes hilarious.

We begin this sleepy-time adventure with our host snoozing soundly in his cosy bed. His alarm jolts him awake and he introduces himself, springing out of bed complete with cartoonish blue-and-white-striped pyjamas. ‘WAKE UP!’ screams the packed room of wee ones as Mr Sleepybum dozes off standing up (or on various people in the crowd) throughout his show. This interactive comedy hour includes skits and scenarios that would be impossible outside of dreamland. From swimming with sharks to solving the mystery of a stolen chocolate cake, Mr Sleepybum’s imagination knows no bounds. Kids are left screeching with glee while their parents are grinning at this circus of sheer silliness.

Kamali goes the extra mile to keep his show as interactive as possible, making sure to answer any eager questions from the excited kiddies. He even stops mid-sketch to hear what a curious little one has to say while his use of audience involvement is perfect. Children are left in stitches seeing their parents dress as frogs or chickens, performing under the haphazard direction of Mr Sleepybum as he describes his dream. It’s obvious why this bouncy and wonderfully hectic show was nominated for Best Kids’ Show at Leicester Comedy Festival this year. 

Mr Sleepybum, Assembly George Square, 15, 17–20, 26 & 27 August, 11.40am.
