Adam Riches

A Christmas stand-up comedy show by Adam Riches, a British comedian, in which the performer appears as Sean Bean. The show is staged at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds.

The show follows a mission to rescue Christmas after a festive mishap caused by the central character. Riches plays the title role, and the audience is written into the story as the supporting cast, which makes the evening interactive rather than a straightforward monologue.

This production follows a 2025 Christmas show of the same name, which The Independent, The Times, Time Out and The Guardian each recommended as a seasonal highlight, and which Chortle included in its list of the ten most memorable comedy gigs of 2025. The 2026 production is an entirely new script, built on the same comic character. Chortle's review of the earlier run mentioned inflatable reindeer and mince pies thrown into the crowd, giving a sense of the physical, anarchic humour involved.

Riches is an Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, and the show suits audiences who enjoy a festive comedy night with a strong character at its centre. It takes place at Hyde Park Book Club, a performance venue in Headingley, Leeds.
