It's never too early to think about Christmas, that's the message from Chorley Little Theatre

Christmas: that joyous time of year when mince pies and mulled wine are shared over a few carols, and the whole family gathers round the telly to watch their comedy favourites.

Whether it’s Sid James as a department store Father Christmas, or the Two Ronnies reinventing Walt Disney’s Pinocchio as a murderous killer doll, these hilarious ghosts of Christmases past are an integral part of the festive season. And, of course, there’ll be Eric ‘n’ Ernie! But perhaps like you’ve never seen them before…

Join comedy historian Robert Ross as he salutes these holiday treats in an affectionate celebration, stuffed with rarely seen clips from the archives.

At Chorley Little Theatre on Sunday, November 29. Tickets £12, £10 with a loyalty card.
