Overview
A stand-up comedy show by Chris Forbes, a Scot Squad performer, about family, festive joy and one Christmas Day that changed everything, staged at The Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh.

The routines mix comic material with reflective storytelling, so the tone moves between laughter and more emotional passages.
