Sandi Toksvig and Ronnie Corbett present a variety show featuring a line-up of stars from the worlds of comedy, music and magic.

Sandi Toksvig’s Christmas Cracker is a music hall-style entertainment show which mixes music, comedy, festive sing-alongs and, in time honoured tradition, a comedic reworking of Charles Dickens’s classic, A Christmas Carol. 

Writer and comedian Toksvig is one of the UK’s best loved entertainers, whose work spans live comedy, children’s television, gameshow Call My Bluff, Radio 4’s News Quiz and I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. She previously displayed her acerbic wit on the London stage in Stephen Fry’s pantomime Cinderella at the Old Vic.

Toksvig is joined by Corbett, one half of the 1980s’s best loved comedy duo, The Two Ronnies. Since then Corbett has remained a recognisable figure on television through appearances on Extras and Little Britain.
