Tickets for our annual benefit show in London, Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, curated as always by comedian Robin Ince, are now on sale from the Bloomsbury Theatre box office. The full run is 16-23 of December but there will be no show on the 21st (Robin has something special up his sleeve for that night – details soon).

At the moment only tickets for 16th-20th are on sale – tickets for 22nd and 23rd will go on sale soon.

Expect another amazing line-up stuffed with the best comedians, musicians and science communicators around. The early confirmed line-ups are below, but as usual we'll be adding loads more acts, and special mystery guests, so you'll never quite know what you're going to get.

It's been sold out every year for 4 years so make sure you get in early. Stay up to date with new acts by following us on Twitter and signing up to our free newsletter.
