We’re back for 2018!

December 14, 15, 19, 20

Kings Place, London, N1

LAST FEW TICKETS REMAINING!

Last year saw the triumphant return of Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People after a couple of years absence. So after four sold out nights in 2017, we’re back for more, with a slight change of name.

These shows have always been about celebrating the best humanity has to offer and our curiosity about the universe around us. That’s something The Cosmic Shambles Network has always been about too. So this year, we’ve made the slightest of adjustments to the name. Welcome to Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People. We’re at a time in human history where positive curiosity has never been in more demand. So across four nights this December you can expect the same sort of shambles as always. Rose D’Or winner Robin Ince hosts the variety night like no other. Science, comedy, music, poetry and many other things that will cause us to overrun…

Read about last year’s shows here.

This year’s shows will be in the main hall at the fabulous Kings Place situated just a few minutes walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras station at 90 York Way, London N1 9AG

Once again we will be collecting for the Trussell Trust Food Bank so please bring along some non perishable items to contribute. You can check the drop down box below to see the most desperately needed items. And, as always, the profits from these shows will be going to charity. Our chosen charities this year are Two Wheels for Life and Mind.

Trussell Trust Urgently Needed Items

The Trussell Trust already have too many tins of beans and pasta, and storage is limited, so please don’t bring anymore of these items.

Who’s On?

Each night will feature a HUGE roster of performers. While there’s always a few extra guests on the night, we’ll be listing most of the performers here over the months leading up to the shows. New people will be added all the time.
