CELEBRATE THE FESTIVE SEASON

This month we're asking you to come with a festive decoration for our festive tree and a gift for our secret santa.

WHAT'S HAPPENING, WHO'S COMING ETC

Pistol and Jack's Christmas Sack: Twice as fun as Santa's sack and more likely to come down your chimney, Pistol and Jack are back for their second appearance at Midnight Matinees with more mashed up pop songs and comedy, this time full of holiday mirth. Find out who's naughty, who's nice, and who's a big ho ho ho.

Made in China will be performing 'A Presentation of How Things Are' which involves two performers with an endless supply of fake blood, a musician with an electric saxophone, a writer with an overhead projector and some grubby acetate slides and a pair of pimped-out ikea trolleys.

The London Tap Jam are joining us! Haven't heard of them? Well you're obviously not very cool. Its ok, you can rectify this: come along to the next Midnight Matinee and get in on the tap dancing action that has become one of the hottest underground scenes in London.

The extraordinary and daring Midnight Monologues are back and this month include works by Wreh-Asha Walton Marcelo Dos Santos.

Bobby Brook will be performing 'Would you be my friend?' Bobby spent 6 years up north forging a career as a director, deviser & performer. She moved to the Big Smoke in June, hoping to find the streets paved with gold, fame and fortune. What she actually found was a sizable amount of dog poo, several homeless people, and some soggy copies of the Evening Standard. This performance will be her second show as a solo artist.

Major Suttle-Tease is joining us. Hard to describe, even harder to forget but don't say you weren't warned.

'Patricia's Secret Chatline' is a humorous study in gender identity. Expect the unexpected.
