About the show
A one-off mega sing-song featuring comedians (and you) singing carols (yes, Last Christmas is a carol).
From ex-choir girl Amy Annette, featuring; Katherine Ryan, Mel Giedroyc, Rose Matafeo, Ayoade Bamboyge, Nish Kumar, Sara Pascoe, Charlie Craggs and more surprise special guests to be announced.
Do you wish you could get back the joy of singing carols loudly and never being sure when the next verse really comes in?? Us too! Bring your voice, your friends, and a sense of joy. Everyone, e.g. Any/no/lots of, religion, is welcome.
This is about being loud, singing the wrong descant and, in the splendour of Soho Walthamshow, watching comedians taking you through our version of a Carol Service. Come join the congreSLAYtion (so sorry).

Katherine Ryan
The product of a strict Irish father and a glitzy Canadian 'stage mom', Katherine Ryan won neither friends nor pageant titles growing up. Try as she might to shed her questionable perspectives and super sparkly nature, she's not sure we can ever truly escape our childhood indoctrinations. Katherine puts a hilarious spin on many topics including life as a single mum and gender hypocrisy in a laid-back, funny, and downright honest show.
As well as being a writer-performer Katherine is also a talented actress and played the lead role of George in Victoria Pile's Channel 4 series Campus. Katherine also appeared regularly throughout the second series of Episodes as Merc's Assistant.
