Christmas is Coming, the Goose is Getting Fat…..

Well, of course I know you’ve only just come back from your summer holidays (did you go somewhere nice?) but the nights are drawing in and we do like having something to look forward to. And we all know how quickly the festive season comes around and smacks us on the back of the head, when we realise we have made no plans, we haven’t booked a band, we haven’t even thought about a venue and everyone at the office is asking “so, where’s the party this year?”

Of course, it’s not just a case of looking in Yellow Pages, closing your eyes and stabbing an entry. You’ve got to make sure it’s a memorable night (for all the right reasons) and your future career might depend on it. We asked a few people for their take on what signifies that a party is in trouble:

The ‘few brief words’ that the Boss wants to share with you all after the dinner requires a PowerPoint presentation, projector and slides.
Your sneak peak at the table plan tells you you’re seated between the IT nerd and the company’s Health & Safety expert, both of whom will be keen to share their expertise.
Management make a decision to ban alcohol from the Christmas party this year – a nice fruit punch will be so much more refreshing…. Could this have anything to do with the debauched shenanigans at last year’s do?
The ‘live music’ turns out to be Sid from Despatch (on keyboard) with his wife, Shirl, doing an excruciating Carpenter tribute.
The theme this year is ‘Inner Child’ and you’re all expected to display your baby snaps in 10 x 8 format.

So our advice is get ahead of the game, book your Christmas party now and everyone will want to be your new best friend. Bring your party to our Party at this year’s Rock with Laughter, the glorious VIP experience in the ‘Backstage’ Party Pavilion. Not only do you get VIP parking and VIP access to the arena show, you actually walk past the backstage area, the artists’ “Green Room”, the dressing rooms and everything! Just the other side of the partition Jimmy Carr is tweeting his hilarious one-liners, Dara O Briain is warming up that delicious Irish voice, Sarah Millican is deciding which of the puddings is beautiful enough to join her gallery of pud pics on her website, Marti Pellow is telling everyone that Love is all around us, Gabrielle is asking for just a little more time and 10cc argue that none of them are in love, you know………

Well, what’s the deal, I hear you say? You may well ask. Here’s the thing, you don’t have to go to all the trouble of researching the best place to go for the best Christmas party – we’ve done it all for you and created the whole shebang. All you have to do now is book your place. Who knows, it could result in that promotion you’ve been hoping for, your partner may propose at long last and your aged aunt may leave you all her worldly wealth. Or not. If nothing else, you’ll have had a blast. And you don’t have to organise a huge number of people to be eligible for this stonking Christmas outing – 2 people or 200, you’ll all be most welcome.
