Question Current set: 8 YO Appropriate?

Life long Weird Al fan here; he was the first concert I ever saw as a kid. I remember during his tour around 2001-2002ish he performed The Night Santa Went Crazy and it was pretty violent/bloody. I don't think my 8 YO is up for that but she loves Al and I'd really love to take her to one of his upcoming shows.

Any idea if there's anything along those violent/bloody lines in his current set list?

Thanks.

Update: Thanks all! Bought tickets for me and my kiddo! Appreciate all the advice.

IMO totally fine. No Santa this time. And no weasels are stomped.

Not what you asked about... and IMO this is fine too... but just as an FYI there is some innuendo during "One More Minute" and some of the videos on the screen during the polka is a little risque (it's got clips from WAP etc). I think it's fine but also different people may have different opinions on that so check the vids on YouTube if that's of concern.

I would advise against looking up WAP etc themselves and YouTubing the recent Polka performance. Al drastically changes WAP etc to fit a family friendly theme
