Hah! Bumhug (7:30pm)intoBodmin | The Old Library, Bodmin, PL31 2JX
Saturday 29th November 2025
We all know the classic Dickens Christmas tale, but did you ever wonder what happened after the ghosts scarpered?
Sure, Scrooge changed his miserly ways but you know how the economy is, it wasn’t nearly enough to combat the Cratchet’s poverty. Time makes fools of us all and it’s turned Tim (don’t let him catch you calling him Tiny) into a bitter and angry bad boy, a cunning and ruthless cat burglar out for his share of Ebenezer’s ill gotten gains...
Not even the Ghost of Christmas Future saw this one coming.
This comic twist on A Christmas Carol is written and performed by Lecoq trained clown Ethel Darling, delivered in a way that’s never been done before.
For the Tiny Tims and elder Ebeneezers, the young and young and heart. Hah! Bumhug is a festive comedy suitable for all ages.
About the performance...
Will my child be able to see?
There will be a seat for everyone, but if your child struggles to see, or wants to move closer we will have an area at the front where they can sit on the floor.
How long will the show last?
The show run time is approximately one hour. Doors will open 30 minutes before the show starts.
Will there be refreshments?
Our Old Library Bar (licensed) will be open with hot & cold drinks, snacks and cakes/biscuits available to buy.
Are you selling family tickets?
Our tickets are all on a pay-what-you-can basis. The cheapest tickets are £6 for a child and £10 for an adult. It's up to you if you would like to pay more. All the profit from this show goes back into keeping the building running and supporting more artist to come and make top quality performances here, in Bodmin.
We also offer a group rate for groups of six, so bring five friends and you're golden.
Who is Ethel Darling?
Ethel has been 'treading the boards' professionally since she was 15; she's a trained clown, an acrobat, a director, and theatrical teacher at the famous Minack Theatre. This brand new show is her latest work and brings a fun twist to a Christmas classic.
