Brilliant Christmas parties and gifts: comedy theatre in London's Covent Garden - The Wedding Reception

THE WEDDING RECEPTION
- fresh from a mammoth month at Edinburgh Fringe where it won 4- and 5- star reviews, this bonkers new immersive comedy from the makers of Faulty Towers The Dining Experience returns to Covent Garden every Friday and Saturday until 17 December
Will & Kate’s dream was for a small intimate wedding – but Kate’s parents had been dreaming of something else entirely. Nonetheless, the happy couple tied the knot romantically in a secluded registry office, turning up next for their quiet and romantic wedding dinner. But ‘quiet and romantic’ are most definitely not in Kate’s parents’ vocabulary... and therein lies the rub. Surprise!

Be a guest at The Wedding Reception. It’s a 2½-hour comedy that’s immersive, highly improvised, and as interactive as you want it to be. Featuring award-winning performers in multiple roles, this outstanding new show is ‘outstanding!’ (The New Current) – and, in true wedding reception style, it even includes a sit-down dinner, with cake! Join the party. It’s a roller-coaster journey full of fun, frolics… and more than a few surprises!
