    ARCHIVE
    WE ARE YOUR NEW TRADITION. WE ARE YOUR WEIRD FAMILY. A two-woman 100% faithful, word-by-word (not really) remake of the Christmas film we all hate to love: ‘Love Actually’.

    The best Christmas film of all time Vs the Worst Christmas film of all time - both receive the Sh!t Theatre treatment. Free goody bags. Free booze. Nudity guaranteed.

    To celebrate CPT’s 30th birthday, Sh!t Theatre are back with their cult Christmas classics pitted against one another: Sh!t Theatre’s Sing-A-Long-A-Muppet Christmas Carol versus Sh!t Actually.

    Love Actually is sh!t, actually.

    "Magnificent fringe legends" (Time Out) Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole take on their hardest roles yet. All the roles. With live songs, queer love stories, and politics questioned by women with actual lines – you're invited to this adults-only celebration of Christmas Actually.

    From the makers of DollyWould, Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum With Expats and Sing-a-long-A-Muppet Christmas Carol (Time Out Top 12 Xmas Shows of 2018; “Justifiably much loved & brilliant” This Week London.)

    A brand new cult Christmas hit. 100% CPT Christmas sell-out. Get your tickets while you can.

    FREE GOODY BAGS.

    GRATUITOUS NUDITY.

    LOVE ACTUALLY VIRGINS WELCOME.

    Sh!t Actually is commissioned and supported by Camden People’s Theatre

    "Top 10 Shows of the Year 2016 & 2019"
    Time Out
    "Sh!t Theatre, whose brilliant ‘Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum with Ex-Pats’ was one of Edinburgh’s biggest hits this year, take on Richard Curtis, and I think we can be absolutely confident who will win."
    Lyn Gardner
    "Surreal, clever and hilarious."
    Daily Telegraph
    "A bit much for my personal tastes"
    Everything Theatre
    "Any chance of Sh!t Weddings and a Funeral?"
    The Times
    "Sh!t Theatre’s achievement is to make it impossible to ever watch Love Actually again without your mouth falling agape in horror."
    Stage Door
    "Raucous and surprisingly moving"
    The Stage
    "Magnificent Fringe Legends. Twice as profound and a kerjillion times funnier than their more sober peers"
    Time Out
    "Sh!t Theatre’s shows have always combined performance art anarchy with bags of humour – slyly sliced by more serious concerns."
    The Independent

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
