Our Christmas special is the biggest night of the year, and we’re going all out with a double-headliner line-up guaranteed to bring the festive laughs.
Kicking things off is the brilliant Hal Cruttenden – one of the UK’s best-loved stand-ups. A master of sharp gags, biting wit, and cheeky storytelling, Hal has lit up shows like Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, and Mock the Week. His high-energy, mischievous style is the perfect way to get the party started.
Closing the night is the effortlessly hilarious Ivo Graham – the youngest ever winner of So You Think You’re Funny and now a regular across TV and radio (Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg). With his razor-sharp observations, posh charm, and brilliantly awkward anecdotes, Ivo has become one of the most distinctive and in-demand comics in the country.
Holding it all together is our resident host Rich Wilson, serving up festive banter and keeping spirits high from start to finish.
Expect a night of big laughs, festive cheer, and the perfect warm-up for Christmas!
