Elephant in the Room: London's Most Ridiculous Comedy Variety Show

Last time, a man got drenched in tea, an audience suggestion became a musical about lesbian English teachers, and we threw a surprise birthday party. All in one evening.

Welcome to Elephant in the Room, a live comedy variety show where brilliant performers meet gloriously ridiculous nonsense, and you never quite know what's coming next.

After a sold-out debut, we're back at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern with The Not Quite Christmas Show. Because what else do you call a Christmas show in the middle of November?

We've assembled another fantastic lineup. Glamazon Prime will turn your favourite films into hilarious musicals, entirely made up on the spot. Kathy Maniura, whose The Cycling Man was a Fringe hit, and Rosalie Minnitt, whose Clementine made The Guardian's Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023, bring their acclaimed character comedy. Jessie Nixon delivers award-winning stand-up. And The Low Bar brings improvised party games, transforming your suggestions into hilarious characters and stories.

But that's only half the fun.

hroughout the night, hosts James Knight and Paul McClenaghan team up with the fabulous Gossip Queens for a Christmas celebration that goes spectacularly off the rails. Expect ridiculous audience games, festive traditions gone wrong, increasingly outrageous surprises and perhaps even a visit from a very special Christmas guest…

We've got a few terrible ideas planned. We'd rather not spoil them.

So grab your friends, get a drink in, and join us for a comedy night that's anything but ordinary. Tickets on sale now!
