Christmas, Actually

This Richard Curtis-curated charity shindig sounds like a mini festive Comic Relief, live from the stage of the Royal Festival Hall. We’re promised a ‘witty and enchanting evening will capture all of the fun and laughter of Christmas through a treasure trove of entertainment’. Expect poems, carols, celebrities, schmaltz and very earnest bits – it’ll probably be overegged, but that is very much the nature of the season, and it’s all to a good cause. ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ director Daniel Raggett helms the affair, which is hosted by Jayde Adams and Sanjeev Bhaskar, with a rotating cast.
