About the Show

Julian Clary's joyful Christmas show about an ordinary couple with an extraordinary secret.

Written by Julian Clary and directed by Lee Lyford, with songs by Julian Clary and Simon Wallace.

This production is recommended for ages 6+.

Critic Reviews (3)

For a previous production

So often with family shows, somebody gets bored as it's too sophisticated or too childish. That is unlikely to happen here: a couple of hours of unalloyed delight, a genuine Christmas cracker.

For a previous production

Lee Lyford’s sprightly, brightly coloured production has a permanent grin on its face, and not only because hyenas are even happier laughing than they are chewing the furniture as a between-meals snack.

For a previous production

There’s plenty of fun physical comedy, endless jokes (Mr Bold writes them for a living) and – thanks to the hyenas – lots of laughter...It’s all very jolly but the energy eventually lags. Running at two hours, Clary’s script is far too long and a bit shapeless.
