Fresh off the back of his Nick Mohammed is Mr. Swallow: Show Pony tour announcement, the Taskmaster contestant is back with a festive update — Mohammed will once again take on the role of his critically acclaimed alter-ego Mr Swallow to star alongside an exciting ensemble in an all-singing, all-dancing comedy retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, A Christmas Carol.

This chaotic Christmas show tells the following story: when Santa cancels Christmas on Christmas Eve, he’s visited by three ghosts who convince him to rediscover the magic of Christmas. However, with the mission accomplished, Santa still has to overcome one huge obstacle: there's mere hours to go until Christmas, he has one working reindeer, and needs to deliver everything on time...

RadioTimes.com readers will be thrilled to hear that the Ted Lasso actor will be joined by a star-studded cast — many of which you'll recognise from popular TV shows.

Mohammed will be taking to the stage alongside Ghosts and Horrible Histories star Martha Howe-Douglas, Kieran Hodgson of Two Doors Down, and Borderline’s David Elms, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce his participation in the show: "Over the last decade I've put up with @MrSwallow as he ruined what could have been brilliant shows about Dracula and Houdini. He's assured me that this time he's done his research. As such, I've reluctantly agreed to join the cast of A Christmas Carol (ish)".
