'A must-see'

Broadway World

This Christmas, there’s a new carol in town!

Join double Emmy-award nominee Nick Mohammed in the guise of his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr. Swallow alongside a star-studded cast for an all-singing, all-dancing comedy retelling of Dickens’ festive classic.

When Santa cancels Christmas on Christmas Eve, he’s visited by three ghosts who must convince him to see the error of his ways and rediscover the magic of Christmas. But with mere hours to go, and only one working reindeer, how will he deliver everything on time?!

Taskmaster loser and Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed is joined by Ghosts’ Martha Howe-Douglas, Borderline’s David Elms and Two Doors Down’s Kieran Hodgson. Jangle those jingles, devour those Christingles, it’s time for some Christmas chaos!

A brand new version of A Christmas Carol (ish) transfers to the West End following a sold-out development run at Soho Theatre in 2022.
