When you think about it, beatboxing is the perfect entertainment for families. What kid doesn’t love blowing raspberries? And what adult doesn’t enjoy reminiscing about music from their youth? In Shlomo’s Beatbox Adventure For Kids, award-winning beatboxer SK Shlomo condenses hip-hop culture into an easily digestible hour that is engrossing for kids and grown-ups alike. 

Rather than a straight performance, Shlomo packs in a Beatboxing 101. By the end of the show, they promise, the audience too will be ‘superstar beatboxers’. Shlomo skilfully breaks down basic hip-hop concepts, from a brief trip back to its New York origins (with the audience making suitable time-travel noises with their mouths) to learning to make a hallmark appreciative bass face (first nod, then frown ‘like you’ve just eaten a piece of broccoli’). Shlomo evidently knows how to command a young audience, keeping them engaged with regular quips and calls for interaction. Equally, when a quick tutorial in spitting bars culminates in a beatboxing championship, Shlomo is thoughtful and approachable enough that even the youngest competitors can take part with confidence.

As for the beatboxing, it’s clear that Shlomo has been practising since they were eight, showing incredible dexterity when they swoop from record scratches to screechy bass, with drum loops and even a trumpet thrown into the mix. The full spectrum of the genre’s legacy is on display, as Shlomo manoeuvres between OG hip-hop beats, dubstep and drum’n’bass. It’s clubland for kids, with enough 1990s throwbacks (Fresh Prince, anyone?) to indulge the parents too.

Pleasance Courtyard, until 28 August, 12.05pm.
