Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Adam Riches is back with a brand new production for 2026. “Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas if it weren’t for Adam Riches pretending to be Sean
Bean, riding an inflatable reindeer and booting mince pies into the audience.” – Chortle
His 2025 show, which was named a Must-See Christmas Show by The Independent, The Times, Time Out and The Guardian, and featured in Chortle’s 10 Most Memorable Comedy Gigs of 2025, is followed by an entirely new production for 2026.
Last Christmas, he gave you his heart.
But the very next year, you gave it away.
What the hell were you thinking?
So now The Bean is back. Back with more chaos. Back with more buffoonery. Back to save Christmas, once and for all.
Starring Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Adam Riches AS ‘Sean Bean’ and All of You AS ‘A Bunch of Bastards’.
