God’s Pottery Saves The World

It is an absolute delight to be able to report that Jeremiah Smallchild and Gideon Lamb have returned to the den of iniquity, incontinence, drug-peddling and pederasty that is the Edinburgh Festival. When I saw their wholesome show last year I turned my back on wickedness and gave myself to Jesus, God praise his holy name.

Having raised £135 to save a sick child last year, these two good looking young men, (one sporting a “Virginity Rocks” T-shirt) have this year turned their attention to saving the entire earth (“Everyone Always Really Triumphs Here”). They are brave enough, through God’s beautiful gift of song, to tackle all the pressing problems of the day, including the environment, overpopulation, and, of course, women. With wholesome voices and poetic lyrics they take us through all the terrible things the devil has brought to God’s earth.

And how right they are that we should be aware of the devil. There were even sinners in the audience who seemed to be laughing at everything our righteous duo said, especially at their song about orphans which pointed out that orphans are as special as normal children. Now what’s funny about that?

The devil even came amongst us in the show! As our boys tried to solve the problem of Africa through a rap song (as they point out, rap music must have started in Africa), they rowed terribly, and Jeremiah fled the building, leaving Gideon to reflect on the folly of anger and pride. We prayed they would be reunited (except for the sinners in the audience who for some reason were still laughing like the debauched citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah, may the Lord have vengeance on them!). God heard our prayer, for reunited they were. They pointed out to us we had just seen an example of how dangerous rap music can be!

If you want to avoid the filth and sleaze purveyed at The Festival under the name of so- called entertainment this is the show for you. Ignore the fact that everyone around you is laughing, and just pray to Jesus for their souls.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
