Sheeps: A Very Sheeps Christmas – Live in Concert! In the Summer!
Coming to the Edinburgh Fringe for 2 nights only!
Pleasance Courtyard – Grand: 8th – 9th August: 23:00
Sheeps, their full live band & very special guests will be performing songs from their (unexpectedly) chart-placing album & more.
Sheeps are ‘arguably the best sketch group of their generation’ (Guardian), and now they’re inarguably the best Christmas-themed band of their generation too.
For two nights only, Sheeps and their full live band will be coming to the Edinburgh Fringe to perform songs from their unexpectedly-chart-placing album (58th on the Official Downloads Chart) and more, with a host of surprise guests. It may be August in Edinburgh, but it’s always Christmas somewhere.
Sheeps: A Very Sheeps Christmas – Live in Concert! In the Summer! is the perfect (and probably only) Christmas musical comedy show for the summer. A big, joyous musical extravaganza that feels as much like a gig as it does a comedy show, it showcases Sheeps and their band’s brilliant musical abilities alongside their comedy songwriting chops.
15 years into their comedy careers, these shows will mark the biggest Edinburgh Fringe shows performed by the critically-acclaimed sketch group.
Featuring zero covers, these shows are guaranteed to include your new favourite Christmas songs, such as ‘My Baby Looks A Lot Like Santa Claus’, ‘Christmas Sex (That No Condom Sex)’, and a special live rendition of ‘Goodman Jizz’.
Previous special guests have included Jamie Demetriou, Rose Matafeo, Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie, Emma Sidi & more. Sheeps are Jonno (Guitar & Vocals), Al Roberts (Piano & Vocals) and Liam Williams (Vocals). They will be joined on-stage by a brilliant 5 piece band: Johnny White Really-Really (Guitar & Piano), Luke Bainbridge (Drums), Charlie Flynn (Bass), Sophie Burrows (Saxophone) & John Tothill (Clarinet).
