This December, the Thespians will be reliving the spirit of Christmases past by recreating the best of British TV comedy of the last 60 years. They’ve got sketches, songs and a bar!
‘Christmas Comedy Crackers’ is a chance to see some of your favourites performed live – and we all know comedy’s best when it’s live.
