Event information
Join award-winning author and comedian Marc Burrows for a celebration of a uniquely British tradition: the Christmas number one! Where did it come from? Why are we the only country in the whole world that actually cares about it? And can it survive in 2025?
Burrows, fresh from a critically lauded run at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show 'The Britpop Hour', celebrates the publication of his new book, The Story of The Christmas No. 1: Mistletoe & Vinyl, with a specially-written stand-up talk, complete with songs, covering everything from Bing to Blobby, from Slade to Sausage Rolls, from feeding the world to Killing In The Name. It's Chriiiiiiistmas!
Marc Burrows is an author, culture journalist and comedian. His biography of Sir Terry Pratchett won the 2021 Locus Award in the non-fiction category, and he has since written acclaimed books on Manic Street Preachers, David Bowie & Marc Bolan, and Nirvana.
