This event has now passed

Also present are their housekeeper, Mrs Henrietta (Zoe Norton Lodge), and their children of uncertain origin (perhaps their biological children?), Percy (Ben Jenkins) and Little Tractor (Jon Williams). Throughout the evening, guests and friends drop by, including adventurous Uncle Gordon (Mike Mackertich), loved from afar by Mrs Henrietta and a surrogate (less awful) father to the children; the local vicar (who regularly visits to educate the children) and sundry other strange and wonderful inhabitants of the CunSut universe.
Mr Cunningham and Mr Sutton will unwrap a semi-traditional Christmas pantomime, which infuses sublime and sinister wit into a dark, but warm and hilarious original theatre comedy. A Very CunSut Christmas contains sketch, stand-up, storytelling and games. In an emergency situation, you may be asked to participate.
Funnier than your Great Aunt's Christmas pantyhose, even more aesthetically pleasing than your reflection in the Christmas tree baubles, easily as exciting as 6am on Christmas morning and almost as packed as your stomach after Christmas dinner itself, don't miss Mr Cunningham and Mr Sutton as they wish you A Very CunSut Christmas.
A key aim of the show is to try and unite various styles of comedy. There will be stand-up monologues which segue or descend into sketch comedy, story telling with the parts performed as mime by the children to parental narration, and above all, a uniting thread throughout. Though some sketches and stories may be entirely interstitial to the plot, they are all ostensibly performed by the characters themselves, and contribute in their own way to the mounting hilarity of this twisted evening.
