December has been a pretty good month of theatre, and I’ve now officially seen my last show of 2025.

I’ve seen some incredible acting performances this month, enjoyed some fantastic pantomimes, and given a plethora of four and five star reviews!

Things are starting to slow down as we head ever closer to the end of the year, but I’ve still got a few shows in the diary.

Looking forward for finally seeing COCKFOSTERS after hearing good things about it during its previous runs, and my return visit to THAT’LL BE CHRISTMAS next weekend.

Had an amazing time at The Clapham Grand last night for THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL MOVIE NIGHT

My first time at the venue, but it definitely won’t be my last. They made this an unmissable event, and their eclectic mix of programming over the festive season and into 2026 looks absolutely incredible.
