Every year you will hear stories about how "they" want to cancel Christmas - so how much truth is there to it? Are ‘they’ really trying to cancel Christmas?? We go through a few examples over the years and try to get to the bottom of it, including the infamous Winterval Festival in Birmingham!
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 00:04:31 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
This was recorded live at the Oasis Comedy Club in Perth in 22/11/2025!
