FRIENDLYJORDIES - THE END OF THE WORLD - A FEEL-GOOD COMEDY

Saturday 16 May 2026
At long last, I’m unveiling my meticulously researched, scientifically flawless, and definitely-not-panic-induced prediction for how the world will end. If you disagree, congratulations - you’re part of the problem. Enjoy your echo chamber while the rest of us prepare for the grand finale. Join me as I break down the political incompetence, corporate buffoonery, and garden-variety stupidity that will bring civilisation to a face-planting halt. It’s satire, it’s prophecy, and it’s disturbingly plausible. (Please note: the show will absolutely contain improvised nudity, spontaneous manginas, and other things no one asked for. You’ve been warned.) About Jordan Shanks Jordan Shanks is a controversial political satirist, documentary maker, and podcast creator. He has produced over 3000 no-holds-barred videos for his YouTube channel, has over 3 million followers on social media, and his videos have been viewed over 330 million times. Jordan hopes he will foster some sort of interest in socio-political discourse, maybe even stir positive change, but most people keep asking him to dress up as a high school kid he once knew. Sometimes he complies.

Matilda Wormwood is a little girl with a big imagination, a sharp mind, and a mysterious gift — and she’s ready to take a stand. With terrible parents, a terrifying headmistress, and a school that squashes creativity, Matilda must use her brains, bravery, and a bit of magic to fight for what’s right. Bursting with high-energy songs, larger-than-life characters, and heartwarming moments, Matilda JR. is a gleefully subversive celebration of courage, kindness, and the power of one small girl to change her story.
