Kettering Arts Centre is proud to present this festive event.🎄 Comedians & Carols 🎭
The original – and best – festive hybrid of stand-up comedy and a carol service returns!
Hosted by Paul Kerensa, this one-of-a-kind Christmas night blends laugh-out-loud stand-up, magical twists on familiar carols (with lyrics on the big screen), live music, magic, mulled wine, and plenty of festive cheer. A staple of Kettering Arts Centre’s Christmas season, it’s perfect for families, friends, church groups, and festive sceptics alike.
