Check this out at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol on Sunday 14 September. Ed is a member of Residence, and this show is really great.  Here’s some info:

“Don’t worry … things are going to get worse!”

Welcome to the world of Ed Rapley, a landscape of balloons and paddling pools, childhood memories and adult loss, in a show that plays with stand-up, story telling, dance, live art and clowning.

10 Ways to Die on Stage brings one man’s ife, full of hopes and failures, into bewildering detail, switching from joyous abandonment to moments of tender beauty, as you are brought, for your own benefit, to witness this act of good-humoured self-dissection, with an ache in the heart, a pain in the head and a little spark of hope.

It might just make you glad to be alive.
