A Christmas cabaret in Royal Festival Hall featuring an array of guest stars from the worlds of music, magic and comedy, including the legendary Ronnie Corbett.
Hosted by queen of the quips Sandi Toksvig and a house band, the show is a joyous mix of music and comedy. It features festive sing-a-longs and, in time-honoured tradition, a re-working of a much-loved period drama in the form of a hilarious romp through Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, written by Sandi Toksvig and a specially commissioned Christmas anthem by Fascinating Aida Dillie Keane.
Created by Sandi Toksvig and Southbank Centre Artistic Director Jude Kelly, and directed by Fiona Laird, who directed Stephen Fry's Cinderella at the Old Vic in 2007 starring Sandi Toksvig, each performance will have the same format, although star guests will vary through the show's ten-day run.

Reviews
Sandi Toksvig's Christmas Cracker
What do Christmas crackers contain but corny jokes, novelty items and a bit of noise… which means Sandi Toksvig’s Royal Festival Hall version has all the boxes…
