A comic Christmas caper for everyone aged 2 to 102.
Ever wondered how Santa goes down the chimney?
Feet first? Head first? On a zip wire?
What if he gets stuck? What if there’s a fire at the bottom? What if there’s no chimney at all?
Can Santa post himself in a parcel? Come in disguise as the Christmas turkey? Or step out of a festive movie on TV?
Join us for a thrilling fusion of physical comedy, live music and anarchic fun!
