Carroll brings the yuletide spirit to life in the middle of summer with a uniquely festive retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
By: A.A. Cristi Jun. 10, 2025
The offbeat one-man show A Gerry Christmas Carroll is coming to the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe from July 31 – August 24 (not 12th) at 14:40, performed at Just the Tonic at the Mash House – Just the Attic (Venue 288).
Fresh from his seventh Brighton Fringe, Carroll brings the yuletide spirit to life in the middle of summer with a uniquely festive retelling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol—told entirely in Dickens’ original words, but through Carroll’s joyful blend of clowning, character work, and traditional storytelling.
At age 72, Carroll is a late-blooming performer with an infectious spirit. “This show has been 62 years in the making,” he says. “I first read the book when I was 10—and it almost has my name in the title, so it’s an obvious choice!”
In A Gerry Christmas Carroll, Carroll transforms into every character—from Ebenezer Scrooge to Marley’s Ghost and all the Cratchits in between—offering a festive celebration of redemption, humor, and humanity. It’s Christmas… in August… and everyone’s invited.
Whether you're a fan of Dickens, craving a dose of holiday cheer, or simply looking for a heartfelt comedy with a twinkle in its eye, A Gerry Christmas Carroll promises festive fun for all ages—and maybe a few ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
