`Glad Tidings abound as Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes return with ‘The Christmas show.’

An evening of shamelessly festive insanity. Classical Nativity intertwines with contemporary insensitivity all performed with dazzling ingenuity. See. what I’m doing here?

Angels, Shepherds, scented candles and a glitterball rocket ship, what’s not to Love…actually? Operaptic numbers- no, that’s not a typo, a man formerly known as Tiny Tim and a goose. Maybe.

‘Appalling….the whole show is an irreverent travesty, needless frivolity and foolishness.’

Jacob Marley

Witty, wanton, wonderful – Charlie Bicknell’s new Show A Darker Night is cabaret with claws. She’s a heady, edgy high octane mix of English rose, vamp and Cruella, shamelessly sexy, murderously funny. You have been warned. Roses have thorns.”

Sue Arnold: The Observer.

“Charlie Bicknell is one of the most fearless performers I’ve seen, and not just when she hangs upside-down over the stage. Her choice of songs moves from the hilarious to the heart rending, all delivered in her direct, uncompromising style that locks on to an audience and takes them along for the ride from start to finish. A unique and hugely entertaining night out.”

Polly Gifford, Artistic Director, BAC.

“Sex and wit, style and charm make a high octane mix. Lean way back in your seat and enjoy the ride.”

Godfrey Smith: The Times.

“Charlie Bicknell and Louise Innes combine a gloriously dark sense of humour with amazing voices and extraordinary physical skill. A great fun night out not to be missed!”
