The Frankie Monroe Christmas Special

A Christmas stand-up show led by Frankie Monroe, an Edinburgh and BBC comedy award winner, staged at The Wardrobe in Leeds. The evening is titled Merry Christmas Ya Filthy.

The Frankie Monroe Christmas Special is a seasonal comedy show built around stand-up. Frankie Monroe, who has won an Edinburgh award and a BBC comedy award, hosts the evening, which carries the subtitle Merry Christmas Ya Filthy and is described by one reviewer as a solo, old-fashioned variety show.

Audiences can expect a mix of comedy, audience games, songs and the handing out of presents. Several special guests join Frankie Monroe on stage, so the running order moves between the host's material and these contributions. The show is pitched as a Christmas night out, and its irreverent tone suits those who enjoy absurd, mischievous humour rather than a conventional festive programme.

The Wardrobe is a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this production is one of its comedy events. It is a suitable choice for anyone looking for a seasonal evening of stand-up with a playful, gently rude edge.
