Press
Festive edition of the standup show where comics exchange brutal, but hysterical, barbs. Desiree Burch, Suzi Ruffell, Ed Gamble and Bobby Mair get personal - riffing on everything from dead relatives to Weinstein - while Jimmy Carr, Katherine Ryan and Jonathan Ross adjudicate alongside Santa (Nick Helm).
