William's Truthful Christmas

Martin Jarvis entertains a packed house with this classic story, William’s Truthful Christmas, performed specially for Christmas Eve at the Riverhouse Barn Theatre, Surrey.

A brand-new classic stand-up performance. Martin Jarvis entertains a packed house at the Riverhouse Barn Theatre in Walton on Thames, Surrey, with a great comic story by Richmal Crompton. This classic tale was written a hundred years ago, but the comic invention is timeless.

William, inspired by the Vicar’s sermon, resolves to speak only the truth over Christmas. With unexpected results.
