Last Christmas, he gave you his heart. But the very next year, you gave it away. What the hell were you thinking? So now The Bean is back. Back with more chaos. Back with more buffoonery. Back to save Christmas, once and for all.
Starring Edinburgh Comedy Award-Winner, Adam Riches, AS ‘Sean Bean’ and All of You AS ‘A Bunch of Bastards’.
“Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas if it weren’t for Adam Riches pretending to be Sean Bean, riding an inflatable reindeer and booting mince pies into the audience.”
Chortle
