Thomas Sainsbury’s Christmas Monologues take the most wonderful time of the year and turn it deliciously upside down. Known for his sharp wit and dark humour, Sainsbury unwraps the chaos, awkwardness, and secret desires that hide beneath the tinsel. These seven twisted tales reveal the not-so-picture-perfect side of the holidays: fractured families, strange confessions, and festive mayhem at its finest.

Expect bold, unfiltered, and wickedly funny performances that capture the hilarity and horror of Christmas in equal measure. It’s festive theatre with a bite, perfect for those who prefer their holiday spirit a little twisted.
