Synopsis

This smash-hit sequel to the award-winning musical Don’t Hug Me is a hilarious spoof of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol .

It’s Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara, tells her he’s skipping Christmas, storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice and goes into a coma.

He comes back in his dream where he’s visited by folk legend Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present and future.

Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol , only very different.

Will Gunner come out of his coma and find redemption with Clara at The Bunyan?

Find out.

Featuring 17 original songs, including “The Wheel is Turnin’ but the Hamster is Dead,” “Gunner Fell Into an Ice Hole,” “Gramma Cut the Christmas Cheese,” “I Love You More Than Football,” “What Would Barbra Streisand Do?” and “I’d Rather be Naughty.”

With only 5 characters, a simple set, and no live band required, A Don’t Hug Me Christmas Carol is very inexpensive to produce.
