Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Adam Riches plays his stage version of actor Sean Bean in a new Christmas comedy show.
Adam Riches is back at Monkey Barrel Comedy on Thursday 26 November, with Adam Riches is Sean Bean in ‘How the Bean Saved Christmas’. It's an entirely new production for 2026, and he's returning to the same venue with more chaos and buffoonery on a mission to save Christmas once and for all. He's still playing his stage version of the actor, and this time the audience is cast as ‘A Bunch of Bastards’.
It's a follow-up to his 2025 show, which The Independent, The Times, Time Out and The Guardian all named a Must-See Christmas Show, and which made Chortle's 10 Most Memorable Comedy Gigs of 2025. Riches is an Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, and this new run continues the Bean-themed streak that started with Adam Riches: The 12 Beans of Christmas.
