“Thanks for the best hours entertainment I’ve had in many a year. Laugh? I nigh on split myself in two laughing. Congratulations on being such a star and not only bringing laughter into my evening but also the children’s and doing so in an innocent, pleasant and silly way.”

~ Audience feedback

The Christmassy Christmas Show of Christmassy Christmasness! is a celebration of everything Christmassy, from fir trees, fairy lights, sleigh bells and snowflakes to crackers, carols, presents and puddings!​

Join Craig as he goes on a quest to find The Twelve Sprouts of Christmas, and along the way spot some naughty elves, meet a wise-cracking snowman, say hello to an over-excited Christmas puppy, endure the world’s worst Christmas jumper and gaze in wonder at the “beautiful” Christmas fairy…

The Christmassy Christmas Show of Christmassy Christmasness! is an over-stuffed stocking of seasonal surprises crammed with puppets, songs and comedy, and over-flowing with crazy characters, silly slapstick, tall tales and fantastic facts – all presented in that unique Squashbox style!

​

“Filled with the spirit of Christmas, a cracker of a show, I confess at its end it even had me joining in and chanting: ‘I love sprouts!'”

~ Frank Ruhrmund, The Cornishman
