Christmas at Southbank Centre

Unwrapped Christmas at Southbank Centre

Find out more about Christmas unwrapped at Southbank Centre.

This Christmas we welcome an exciting range of comedians, performers and musicians to Southbank Centre. The creators of Stomp go symphonic with their biggest, most energetic and entertaining production yet: Lost and Found Orchestra. This unqiue orchestra is created from the junk and clutter of everyday life, and creates an irresistible celebration of found sound.

We host the premiere of Sinderella brought to you by Grammy-nominated cult London trio, The Tiger Lillies and New York icon Justin Bond. Comedian and magician Jerry Sadowitz brings his utterly offensive show straight from Edinburgh - and we delve into the unknown with contemporary mind reader Chris Cox.

Irish comedian Keith Farnan presents his controversial, hilarious show, and Tim Minchin, a self-proclaimed 'big-haired, bare-footed, piano-thumping comedian' presents a night of musical comedy. The House of Homosexual Culture celebrates Quentin Crisp's 100th birthday with talks, performance and dressing up, while Pappy's Fun Club hosts an evening of comedy packed full of characters, music and revelry. There's a series of music concerts including Shlomo who recreates his Glastonbury performance with two hours of special collaborations, and the Puppini Sisters who present their very unique take on Christmas. The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall is home to In from the Cold, an exciting programme of free events aimed at all the family. At the heart this is the Igloo Cinema, an inflatable screening room that takes the form of a melting igloo.

Have a laugh this Christmas with Southbank Centre's line-up of performances from top comedians.

Book for Pappy's Fun Club, Chris Cox and Zoe Lyons & Keith Farnan, and get all three shows for £24.

Southbank Centre is the perfect place to do all your Christmas shopping and has some unique and wonderful gift ideas including Naming a Seat in Royal Festival Hall, arts vouchers and Gift Membership
