The End of the World Show is at the Edinburgh Fringe: 15-21 and 23-27 August at Bar 50 (Smart City Cafe), Blackfriars St, Cowgate, EH1 1NE, 14:15 to 15:05, or maybe 15:10. The show is free and unticketed - just bring an open mind and your sense of humour. No show on Monday 22nd August.

Bar 50 is child-friendly, and the show is rated 12+. The material pertains to, among other things, religious beliefs about the End Times, and death. Content will only be as gory as various ancient religious texts; i.e. a bit gruesome in places. But perhaps only adults might find it challenging, because kids tend to like that kind of stuff. They grow up so fast these days, and you really have no idea at all what they see on the Internet. Believe me, this pales in comparison. And it's a life-affirming expostion, which will make them - and you - think.
