A legendary figure has signed in for out-of-season rehab. Is he the real thing, or another otherwise unemployed actor between Santa gigs?  That’s the set up for this comic celebration by the critically acclaimed writer and performer Terry Victor – a jolly, white-bearded, fat man who has defiantly danced in the dark side of the GROTTO.

“This is a show for grown-ups who have forgotten what it’s like to sit on Santa’s knee and perhaps regret remembering….” (★★★★ STARBURST Magazine).

Unseasonable, unreasonable & unsuitable for brats. “…so funny from beginning to end” (★★★★★ The Audience Club). You can expect ‘more burley than burlesque’ drag, Xmassy rapping and juicy namedrops. This is one for the naughty list, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas will never be the same again. Ho! Ho! Ho!

BAH HUMBUG!

Written by Kit Hunter 

Starring Liz Grand & Katherine Parker-Jones

Joanne is very rich but all alone on Christmas Eve. She hates Christmas with a passion and explains at length what is wrong with it. She eventually nods off and awakes to find a woman in her flat. She has no idea how she got in, who she is, or what she wants. On the other hand, the woman seems to know a great deal about Joanne and her family and her somewhat murky past.

This bitter/sweet comedy brings a modern twist to the Scrooge experience, and is guaranteed to make the audience both laugh and cry.”
