If you’re looking for a show that blends heart with hilarity and Scrooge with booze look no further! A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark is an award-winning retelling of a Scrooge’s ghostly guided tour. It follows Frederick, the sole relative of Scrooge and our inebriated narrator, as he attempts to cobble together his uncle’s utterly absurd story. From the various visions of Scrooge‘s life, to the strange spirits he met along the way, you’ll watch as Frederick and his friend, Benjamin, attempt to make heads or tails of the classic tale. All while the story’s specifics are scrambled and the characters become caricatures, resulting in a show full of crude humor and Dickens jokes that will leave (im)mature audiences in stitches!
A "scrooge" is defined as "a miserly person" according to Merriam-Webster. Synonyms of "miserly" include greedy, selfish, mean, and stingy. But, in today's desensitized world, we'd just call him an a**hole. This show is, to quote the narrator, "rough around the edges" and "a tad bit risque." But, nowadays, there's no beating around the bush: rich people deserve to be made fun of. They kind of deserve it. Ebenezer Scrooge, though long dead and fictional, is no exception, and A Christmas Carol: Drunk After Dark gives audiences excuses to laugh at the old geezer as he gets kicked around by the cast!
