Horrible Histories at Christmas – a family friendly adventure for December 2024

Horrible Histories Live on Stage is back this holiday season, bringing festive cheer with a twist in their fan-favorite show, Horrible Christmas! From December 12th to January 4th, the hilariously unique production will light up the beautifully restored Victorian gem, Alexandra Palace Theatre in London N22.

Ever wondered why we put up Christmas trees, send cards, or eat turkey during the holidays? Horrible Christmas dives into the history of our favorite traditions in a wild, time-traveling adventure that’s perfect for the whole family. Join a brave young boy as he teams up with Charles Dickens, King Henry VIII, and St. Nicholas to save Christmas from a mysterious man in red. With sing-alongs, “behind you!” moments, and plenty of laughs, this isn’t your typical panto – it’s history with all the trimmings!

A Unique Holiday Experience for All Ages

Directed by Neal Foster (recently seen in Terrible Tudors and David Walliams’ Awful Auntie), Horrible Christmas promises to be bigger and better than ever. Foster shares his excitement:

“We were thrilled to be the first Christmas show at the newly refurbished Alexandra Palace Theatre, and we’re even more excited to return with our biggest Horrible Histories production yet! Ally Pally is the perfect place for families to enjoy a uniquely hilarious and heart-warming holiday show.”
