Kid Carpet's Noisy Nativity


  • Gloucester Guildhall 23 Eastgate Street Gloucester UK (map)

Kid Carpet presents a radical remix of the classic Christmas tale!

Kid Carpet is putting on the local Christmas Nativity show, but no one has turned up to audition. Aye Carumba! Never fear, The Noisy Animals are next door at band practice and say they can help out. However, they want total control and have some really BIG demands. What could possibly go wrong…?

A ridiculous Christmas journey of silliness and mischief for the whole family. Will the Christmas story ever be the same again and more importantly, where can we get 6 million silk tinsel headbands? Will there be room in the Travelodge? And why is there a Golden Eagle in the dressing room?

“The Mighty Boosh for kids!”
Strike A Light

“Anarchy, irreverence and belly laughs for adults and children alike.”
- Theatre Bristol

Ed Patrick (aka Kid Carpet), is a Bristol-based maker of nonsense music and rock’n’roll theatre shows. Noisy Nativity is the third instalment of the Noisy Animals adventure.

RELAXED PERFORMANCE - As part of our Noisy Nativity show on 21st December at 11 am, Gloucester Guildhall will be providing a quiet space for children who may benefit from a calm setting before, during and after the performance.  

The room will feature low lighting and cosy  and tactile corners for rest. The space is intended to serve as a relaxed environment where children can take a break and engage at their own pace. It will be open an hour before, during and after the performance.
