Shiny Things
Christmas Special

December 16th | 7:45 - 10pm | Arkstar N7 8HS

It’s time to get festive and jolly with the Shiny Things Christmas special! Not only do we have three of the UK’s top improv teams making up hilarious sketches in real time, but it will all be punctuated by Anna Marie Simonsen’s “Naughty” character comedy, audience gifts, and a rather shiny bauble! Get ready to have your (Christmas) socks blown off by a show that will have you rolling off your chair with laughter, even before you’ve drunk too much of the delicious mulled wine from the bar!

Lineup

  • Lauda

    Named after the Formula 1 legend for no apparent reason, Lauda bring three of their own (improv) legends to the stage, but without the flaming car crashes of their namesake. Cast includes Shamus Maxwell (Jacuzzi, The Wilsons, The Free Association), Jen Littlewood (Nana, Second City), and Nick Everett (Taco Cat, Jacuzzi, The Free Association).

  • Mean Girls

    A double act of pure sass and attitude, Mean Girls will make you wish you’d never become friends. We are joking of course… they were never your friend in the first place. Cast includes Laura Riseborough (Sliding Lives, 666 Hell Lane, The Free Association), Luke Healy (666 Hell Lane, The Gatekeepers, The Free Association).

  • Fools Gold (House Team)

    Shiny Thing’s house team of gorgeous funny people will get the party started with some theatrical absurdity, skillfully bounding their way through a series of sketches inspired by a single word! Joined by the most magic of VIP guests this month, Graham Dickson and Naomi Petersen!

  • Anna Marie Simonsen

    Our compere this month won the winner of Oslo Fringe’s Funniest Moment Award 2021! Welcome Anna Marie Simonsen (Pleasance Theatre, Arts Council Norway) and her wonderful “naughty” character, who will bring that child-like wonder that every Christmas show needs.

  • Graham Dickson (VIP Guest)

    Co-creator and star of west end hit show Austintatious, and The Free Association, Graham is one of the UK’s top improvisors and we are frankly honoured to have him making up silly scenes on our stage!

  • Naomi Petersen (VIP Guest)

    Star of Sorry, St. Doctors Hospital, Jacuzzi, and Artistic Director of The Free Association, Naomi makes it a slam dunk of two gorgeous and hilarious VIP guests we have gracing our stage this Christmas!
