🌍 What happens when comedy meets the end of the world?

In Episode 496 of The Martin Talk Show, host Martin Colton is joined by comedian, actor and writer Tom Johnson for a gloriously anarchic conversation about Armageddon Outta Here, a dark, loud, sketch-comedy apocalypse heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Written by Tom Johnson and Chris Roberts, and starring Tom Johnson and Rob Glenister, Armageddon Outta Here follows two astronauts as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth, while ego, denial, panic, faith and petty squabbles collide in humanity’s final countdown. 🚀

This episode explores the power of comedy at the edge of disaster, the influence of Rik Mayall’s fearless creative spirit, the madness and magic of live performance, and why absurdity might be one of the most honest ways to tell the truth.

Tom’s show has links to the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival, with Armageddon Outta Here listed for the festival’s Main House programme on 31 May 2026, before heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 6–17 August 2026 at Just The Tonic at Westside Rodeo. 🎭

Expect chaos, comedy, creativity, and a conversation about what happens when the world is ending but the jokes keep landing.
