I fear that by the time you read this, you will have missed it, because this completely daft and enjoyable kids' show is heading for Trafalgar Studios in the West End, a gig that it entirely deserves.
The show is full of clever word play, silly jokes, mad improvisations and a duo of storytellers called Professor Ivor Bumm and his assistant Doctor Willy Whee. Yes, it's stupid, but the kids love it and much to my surprise I really rather enjoyed it too.
I have a pretty limited tolerance for this kind of children's entertainment, which is really nothing more than the whackier end of CBBC live on stage. But Andrew Jones and Ciaran Murtagh work so hard and play the audience so skilfully that you soon find yourself grinning as inanely as the kids.
Essentially this is an improvisational storytelling show, with the pair apparently demonstrating their new Story Machine, a contraption that is going to "shatter Shakespeare, trounce Tolkien and pulverise Pullman".
But when the machine goes on the blink, Bumm and Whee have to take suggestions from the audience and tell the stories themselves.
Inevitably some tales work better than others, but the standard is consistently high and this hour of madcap fun does its job.
· Edinburgh run finished. Now at Trafalgar Studios, London W1 until September 2. Box office: 0870 060 6632.
