The Crick Crack Club to host an evening of storytelling and music
The Crick Crack Club is hosting a carol show with a difference at The Cube.
Promising disorders of service, chaotic carols and Christmas tree shrines, the storytelling wizards are urging people to arrive in their kitschiest jumpers on Thursday to be greeted with mulled wine, mince pies and varied entertainment.
Lined up to perform is Sheema Mukherjee, who will be “banging out carols on the sitar”, alongside stories from Reverend Tim Ralphs and the not so reverent Ben Haggarty.

Speaking to Bristol24/7, programme manager Kate Norgate says the evening will be “bonkers but fun”.
“We’re inviting adults to come and listen to fairytales as a way to examine the human condition,” explains Kate.
Kate describes Tim and Ben as “walking libraries”, ready to fit tales around Sheema’s music and audience singing.
It’s not technically a club, but The Crick Crack Club started in the 1980s when, as Kate says, “everything was called a club.”
For some 30 years, the ‘club’ – based in Montpelier and also London – has been working in venues across the UK, bringing together “international traditional narratives”, including proverbs and jokes, working with individuals and organisations from across the world in the process.
This is the first year they’ve put on a carol evening, but initial interest suggests it could well become an annual event.
