This Christmas, Bristol’s record-breaking live comedy soap opera is coming to Bristol Old Vic! Perfect for a hilarious night out with friends, family, work colleagues, or random people you have just met in the queue at Aldi.

And, like all the best British soaps, Christmas is when things really ramp up with juicy storylines and unforgettable moments. What will happen next? Anything at all! The cast is made up of Bristol’s best actors and improvisers, with surprise special guests and plenty of delicious unpredictability. In fact, the only thing you can predict is that you will have a right rollicking high old time! FINALIST – Bristol Life Awards 2026 & 2023
