The Horrible Histories gang are back this Christmas for a theatre show like no other! Grab your history hats, and be prepared to be tickled and tumbled (horrible history style) for the festive Horrible Histories live on stage – Horrible Christmas!
Touring in Birmingham, Manchester and London this December 2022
When you think of Christmas, many things usually come to mind – family, joy, goodwill, presents… – but how about Oliver Cromwell (fact)? Or Henry VIII (fact)?
When Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red, it’s up to one young courageous boy to save the day – but can he save Christmas? From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join us on a hair-raising adventure through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII and St Nicholas as they all join forces to save the festive season!
A Christmas celebration in the most wonderful, funny and moving way you’ll ever see!

We are SOOOOO excited for this show. We’ve not been to any of the Horrible Histories live on stage theatre shows before, so it will be such a treat for Little Button (10 years old). Especially as she’s a huge fan of the Tudor period, and this show features King Henry VIII #winning! She’s already counting down the days to see it… and to tell the truth, so am I! Maybe we’ll see you there!
What the critics say
‘A flash, bang, wallop of a production!’ British Theatre Guide
‘That rare gem of a family show that genuinely appeals to all ages from four years old upwards. If you think you know about Christmas, this show will make you think again!’ Manchester Theatre Awards
‘Jam packed with brilliant, catchy tunes, hilarious jokes and lots of audience participation. I went with children aged between 7 and 12 and they loved it!’ Cambridge Edition

I bet this is a great show to see, my daughter used to love horriible histories maybe where her love of history came from
That looks like it would be so much fun. I love Horrible Histories as much as my kids do, so I know we’d have a great time.
It almost made me jump for excitement, knowing they’re coming to Manchester. I alread bought tickets! 🙂
This seems super interesting play…I love theaters…I hope i get to see horrible histories soon…
This sounds like a good play I am sure it would be a lovely outing with the children.
My kids love watching Horrible Histories and we have been to a few of their stage show and I bet they would enjoy Horrible Christmas. Will be checking out to see if they tour close to us.
This looks like a show my grandchildren would enjoy, Annette#dreamteam
My kids would have loved this, back in the day!
I’ve never heard of Horrible Histories but this sounds amazing #dreamteam
