There are some real festive treats in store at the Museum this December. Edinburgh Fringe sensations Flat & The Curves are here with the sassiest Christmas show in town. We have not one but two comedy legends visiting as Andy Parsons warms up for his tour and Mitch Benn looks at time in a whole new way. For those who like their comedy a bit more left field we have a whole weekend of shows from the cultiest of cult comedians. Sean Morley's Christmas Egg and Jim John Harkness + band share the Friday while Saturday is devoted to musical improv losers Consignia and reigning Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year Sam Nicoresti.
