A Christmas Special with star names, mince pies, crackers and loads of cheer!
ARTHUR SMITH – An absolute comedy legend and star of BBC’s “Grumpy Old Men”, “QI” and “Have I Got News for You”. He is one of the much-admired originals of the great British alternative comedy scene. His face is probably more famous than his name, and his stand-up has not only stood the test of time but forged ahead of it.
“Smith stands out among his generation for a willingness to keep pushing himself and experimenting with the new forms of comedic expression… Today’s hottest young comics still see him as an inspiration.” – Guardian
STEVE GRIBBIN – is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scabrous comedy songs and off the wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit.
“You can count the number of truly imaginative comic singers on one hand. One of this select band is Steve Gribbin” – Time Out
EDD HEDDGES – is the star of the UK No.1 hit podcast……. Wisecrack! His near-death experience at the hands of his childhood bully was the story in his comedy show Wonderland, which forms the key component of the podcast. He won the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny Competition in 2013 and is now on the verge of major stardom.
‘Edd Hedges is a joy to watch.’ – The Scotsman
PAUL REVILL hosts the show.

The critically acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company present their unique adaptation of Charles Dickens’ fantastical festive fable.
It’s Christmas Eve and tight-fisted Ebenezer Scrooge is meaner than ever. He is shunning his only living relative, underpaying his clerk and refusing to acknowledge the plight of the poor… but will timely visits from the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future change his miserly ways before it’s too late?
Performed by a multi-talented cast in The Pantaloons’ own inimitable, hilarious and moving style this show features live music, audience interaction and absolutely no humbug! *
