Dark comedy collective Casual Violence! plan to return to the Edinburgh Fringe this year after a sell-out, critically acclaimed run in 2010. This year, we're taking a brand new show all about the final word, and we'd like your help to make it happen.

Choose Death is a character comedy/sketch show merging the dark, grotesque and sinister with the silly, strange and surreal. We're taking this show to the Edinburgh Fringe this year, but we can't do it without help...

More details about the show:

Casual Violence! have worked out the meaning of death. The good news is: it involves Siamese twins working as hitmen, smelly deathbeds, bubble guns, clowns in Santa hats, and at least two horsemen of the apocalypse. The way we see it: if you’re going to die (and you are), you might as well die laughing…

After a critically acclaimed, sell-out run at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Casual Violence! invite you to join them for a brand new show all about the final word. Sharp jokes, physical comedy, live music and wonderful new characters are all guaranteed…

Join the darkly daft minds behind “Dildon’t!” (2010) as we journey into the abyss with our twisted cast of outcasts.

We’re dying, and you’re coming with us. Expect more “UNIQUE GROTESQUERY”, more “GENUINELY FUNNY, NAUGHTY STORY-TELLING” and more “FREAKSHOW TALES” in a brand new show of surreal, sinister and silly comedy…

★ ★ ★ ★ “A strange and twisted fantasy, a freakshow tale…a unique grotesquery…a quick fix of amusement before you go on your way, flushed and slightly sweaty, wondering what just happened to you” – Fringe Guru, Edinburgh Fringe 2010
