Performance NotesDon your festive glad rags and join national treasure Sandi Toksvig for an evening of singing, silliness and maybe even snow.

Absolutely everyone is welcome at this celebration of the great LGBTQIA family and their allies.

Help Sandi belt out some familiar tunes, accompanied by the London Gay Men’s Chorus, the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Karen Ní Bhroin, organist Anna Lapwood, West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher, and dancers from Laine Theatre Arts.

Bring your partners, your parents, and possibly a hanky, as there may also be some touching moments. Or come alone and make friends!

It’s time to say ‘Glædelig Jul’, which is Danish for ‘Merry Christmas’, and may take a little practice. It won’t be the same without you.

Expect to hear:
Carol of the Bells
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Sleigh Ride
Feliz Navidad
Someone to Watch Over Me
O Holy Night
Jingle Bells
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
...and more

"'It feels like a full-circle moment because the Royal Albert Hall is where I did my first out performance and spoke about being a lesbian on stage,' says Sandi Toksvig about her upcoming Christmas show." (Pink News, 17 December 2024)
