You're not your job. You're not the car you drive, your LinkedIn follower count. You're the all-singing, all-dancing bum bum army. Rebels. Co-creators. Mischief-makers. Forget about what you think you know about life, about the world… it’s time to stand up for what you believe in and join our army of volunteers. The last You Me Bum Bum Train show was the biggest we’d ever done... until now. A brand new show is on its way to central London in November 2024. And we need you all to make this one absolutely slap. If you want to act, make costumes, drive a van, or help write these social posts. We. Want. You. Join us. Tell no one. Link in comments.

"I really love the feeling of togetherness in the scene, and just to be part of something so bizarre." – Kate “I volunteer because it's amazing and addictively fun. I've made a ton of new friends during this time, and have been compelled to start playing music again from my involvement. The show allows people to develop so many opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.” – Tom “During the planning you felt how good it could be, during the build I enjoyed the true teamwork and learnt new skills and got satisfaction as it came together. When I got to play different roles in the show and act for the first time ever It gave me a chance to experience wild situations with no consequences which was such an adrenaline rush.” –Anonymous

We couldn't be more proud of the incredible team of volunteers who create these shows night after night. One word that comes up time and again in testimonials and reviews is 'commitment'. People are genuinely amazed at the commitment of our cast and crew. There are just two shows left this year if you'd like to come down and be a part of the team. “One of the best artistic experiences of my life” - The Times ★★★★★ "It’s an extraordinary logistical masterpiece that will test you and surprise you in ways you didn’t know were even possible.” The Telegraph ★★★★★ "It’s theatre, but muddled: a truly extraordinary act of mass imagination and participation, all for the benefit of one person, both audience member and actor, and it’s not hard to see how it might just change their life.” - The Stage ★★★★★ “Like going through the most glorious, neon-hued fever dream. On hallucinogenics. With a side of therapy” - The Independent ★★★★★ “A safe space to unleash that main character energy and lean into different parts of your personality you had no idea were there” - Time Out ★★★★★ “It will restore your faith in humanity.” - The Telegraph “A logistically fiendish, breathtakingly original experience” - The Arts Desk https://lnkd.in/etuj9Dqj

Some lovely words about the show from Kinvara Balfour. It's not too late to volunteer if you want to get involved! Come and be in the cast this week if you fancy a change from Christmas parties. Absolutely no tinsel, carols or mistletoe in sight. https://lnkd.in/gDeXJBYF

😱 Woah, it's finally come around..You Me Bum Bum Train 2024 is live 🎇 This is the 3rd round of You Me Bum Bum Train I've contributed to, each time getting more and more involved in the behind-the-scenes in small ways to make this community-driven, fever dream, immersive rollercoaster train journey happen. The last show was 8 years ago, and it only runs for ~6 weeks, so it's truly a scarce and precious experience. The last 6 months have been unbelievable amounts of fun. Is it weird? ✅ Is it hard to describe? ✅ Is it chaotic? ✅ Is it a bottomless pit of joy and love? ✅ Tickets went for it almost immediately, but the shows run ~3 times a week between now and the end of Jan, and we are always looking for more volunteers to get involved. As cast members, welfare support, dinner lads/ladies, DIY-ers and handy people, and general helpers (aka Game Ants 🐜 )... and more! Sign up as a volunteer, fill out your profile on Bum Bum World and join an intro/casting call to understand how it all works! https://lnkd.in/dJ9Y-Vk5 Not sure what YMMBT is? This FT article does a good job of capturing the weird and wonderfulness https://lnkd.in/dSAZajRH
It’s show time! We couldn’t feel more proud of this incredible community! We’ve created a wild show and even though we can’t say a lot because it’s all top secret… we’re trembling with excitement! A massive thank you to everyone who made this happen.

Talking could be the future of communication! Sometimes, all the digital marketing in the world can't replace a bit of old-fashioned human contact. So we've set up a landline. If you want to talk to us about volunteering, stage management accreditation schemes, acting in the show for a night or more... just call us! We'd love to chat!
