Fans of Monty Python, Mr Bean, and Dr Seuss… Grab your Teacups!

The holiday season is here, after nearly two full years away from the audiences, beloved British comedy duo James and Jamesy are bounding back onstage with their celebrated holiday classic, O Christmas Tea. Whether it’s for friends, family or loved ones, or if you’re just treating yourself, the gift of live theatre is one that’s always appreciated.

The shows will be held at Portland’s Newmark Theatre Sunday, Nov 28, at 3 and 7:30pm.

James and Jamesy have delighted audiences for decades with their unique take on traditional British comedy and they’re excited to make their eagerly awaited return.

“After 20 months away from the stage, we are beside ourselves — both literally and metaphorically — to be reunited with our audiences, many of whom have become like extended family. We’re thrilled to again feel the buzz that only the magic of live theatre can bring,” says Aaron Malkin (James), the taller, less-hirsute half of the award-winning duo.

The time away, due to pandemic restrictions on live entertainment, has reinforced not only the passion the duo has for its shows, but also the importance that humor plays in our lives and the camaraderie that can be built within audiences.

“We are thrilled to once again be able to bring friends and family together. Now, more than ever, we are reminded to dream big, embrace imagination, and celebrate a childlike excitement for merriment,” added Alastair Knowles (Jamesy), the eccentric half of the duo.

O Christmas Tea is rich with wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements reminiscent of classic British pantomimes. However, it is James & Jamesy’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that creates the extraordinary magic of this unique festive experience.

During the action-packed production, a Christmas wish for tea is surprisingly fulfilled in titanic proportions. As the world floods with tea, our duo must find innovative and hilarious solutions to keep them afloat as they try to make their way back home.

Redefining immersive theatre, these masters of physical comedy — with over 20 comedy awards to their name — bring audiences on a jolly escapade with surprising depth in this joyous celebration of friendship at Christmas.
