It's arrived... the bitter/sweet moment of the final show... 💔
Eight years in (we realised it's actualluy nine, but we're not sure if anyone's counting!!)
Things we've learned... if we mess up - it adds to the hysterical chaos!🥳
Like all great double-acts we've become virtually telepathic 🙄
That every year we have amazing audiences of people who are willing to embrace the joyful stupidity of Penny Pincher's and that really makes our hearts happy ❤️

Some of you have been with us every year since, sime have just joined us, or joined us at some point alobg the way. 😁

Get your party pants on for opening night!🥳
Our eighth year of writing, rehearsing, making, choreagraphing and generally chimping about... and tonight, at 7.30pm in back room of The Horse and Groom, Mercatoria, St Leonards... it's SHOWTIME!!! 🌟
We can't wait and we're really looking forward to finally having an audience after several months of being shut in a room on our own! That is as bad as it sounds.😁
If you'd like to experience the magic of Christmas the Kate and John way, but haven't got a ticket... fear not - we still have a few available on the door and you can pay by cash or card. Fancy! 🤑

Doors from 7pm - come early to bag the best seats. Showtime 7.30pm. Running time 1hr 20mins
