Pope Benedict has a creepy German accent, a priceless art collection & diplomatic immunity. His real name is ‘Cardinal Ratzinger’. And he’s the head of a sinister organisation, hell-bent on World Domination.

This year's Edinburgh show explores why Catholic Europe (Ireland, Spain & Italy) is being bailed out by Protestant Europe (Germany, the UK & Scandanavia)? Is the Vatican plotting to impoverish us, so we return to God? And why has James Bond never been sent undercover in Northern Ireland? You Won’t Be Told Twice…
