British and Chinese premier young performers will present a 45-minute British slapstick comedy "GB vs China - The Comedy Games" to Expo 2010 visitors in July.
With due deference to Mr Bean, Charlie Chaplin, Monty Python and Benny Hill, the devised show will be presented by 16 actors from London's Central St. Martins College and the Shanghai Institute of Visual Art. It was the result of collaboration between performers of the two countries.
The comedy will be shown twice at the UK Pavilion every day and at Europe Square every evening from July 1 to 16.
Comments have included "It's really stupid" and 'What's so funny about hitting someone with a fish?" "Unmissable," said both Conservative and Labour politicians in a desperate attempt to secure last-minute youth votes.
It is part of a collaborative project in Employability & Entrepreneurship that helps UK and Chinese businesses thrive through the use of theatre skills while boosting employment for theatre-makers.
