About Father Christmas: The secrets of being a professional Santa

Published: Dec. 13, 2023, 3 a.m.

b"Ho ho ho, merry Christmas! Actually we should just say merry Christmas, as apparently the real Santa doesn't say ho ho ho. We learn this (and many other secrets of the trade) from Mike, who is a professional Father Christmas. Yes, that is his real job all year round, as he takes bookings in January, and there is a Santa convention that happens in June. Luckily, most Santa's get to take Christmas day off. Warning, don't listen to this episode if you are around young children, as we don't want to ruin Christmas for anyone!\\nCome and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show!
