Brand new work in progress from Award Winning Idiot!
Last year Ed did his first solo show for 18 years and he really enjoyed it so he’s going again...
Things this WIP may contain..jokes (2) History (some, probably fairly inaccurate) Science (made up) stories, characters, sketches, music, some stuff about Napoleon (the boring Ridley Scott snoozefest starring that pound shop Marlon Brando AND the real story of the chippy little Corsican fella) Lions.
Things this WIP will almost certainly not contain... Lions.
Keep your expectations low and nobody gets hurt.
