Ha! Bumbug!
It's that time again when the Royal Court searches "Christmas shows" on Google and picks one to scousify! This year we're improving on the great Charles Dickens, who always wanted his shows to have more stupid jokes and live music.

As always, this is a show for grownups only so pack the kids off to their nan's for the night and come and join us for a laugh!
Jacob Marley is dead and nobody knows who bumped him off. Mary Marley, his missus, is going to track down the killer and she's got one man in her sights. Scrooge. But how can she make him cough to the crime?
Ebeneezer is a geezer who always quite fancied Mary, but now she's ghosting him with the help of the Scratchitt family and Mr Kettiwig. Will he learn his lesson? Will Marley be avenged by three little birds? Will Charlie Dicko spin so fast in his grave that a sinkhole opens up? Only one way to find out&
The creative team from last year's Christmas show are on board and the cast and bandare rushing to the Court to sign their contracts. This one is going to be full of all of the jokes and incredible live music that you have come to expect from the city's biggest Chrimbo celebration.
Keep your past and future, this show is the best Christmas present you could wish for!

Since you’re here…
… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.
You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.
Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
