The Goes Wrong Show sees the fictitious Cornley Drama Society take on various theatre genres, with disastrous and hilarious results. This time, the amateur actors present their version of the greatest story ever told, the Nativity.
As we would expect from the The Goes Wrong Show, things don't quite to plan. As the show synopsis teases: "All soon descends into chaos: an ingenious pop-up book set soon proves a physical danger to both cast and crew, the angel Gabriel develops a firework obsession, the actors inside a donkey have a terrible falling out that results in unnecessary nudity, and there is much more fire than anyone anticipated."

"The whole thing is set in a pop-up book which is fun, it has Christmas carols in it which is good, we haven't taken on many songs."
Charlie Russell as Sandra
