Hosted by Gráinne Maguire, Tara Flynn and Colum McDonnell

Don your very best Christmas jumper for a screening of The Late Late Show Toy Show (the night after it airs) and expect a night of live comedy, commentary, games and craic!

In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, we’re asking audience members, if they can, to bring an unwrapped educational toy, game or book for a child between the ages of 3 - 11 years, for Santa’s sack. All toy donations will be gifted to Variety, the Children's Charity. Variety at Work deals directly with children, offering outings and special treats to young people and children who are sick, disabled and disadvantaged. https://www.variety.org.uk/what-we-do/variety-at-work

Funky Christmas Jumpers are offering a 15% discount on sweaters, shirts or t-shirts to audience members. Head to http://www.funkychristmasjumpers.co.uk/ before the 25 November and use the promo code TOYSHOW.

The London Irish Comedy Festival has featured as one of Time Out Comedy's ‘Critics Choices’, the Londonist's ‘Hot Picks’ and the London Evening Standard's ‘Top Ten Things To Do’ the weekend of the Festival.
