Join the Actuallys for a magical evening filled with laughter, beautiful harmonies, and holiday cheer that will leave you with memories to cherish.

The Actually Gay Men's Chorus was set up in 2005 with the specific aim of providing a place where gay men could socialise, have fun and develop their social skills in a unique environment.
The company usually performs 2 major shows each year, one in the summer and one at Christmas with smaller events throughout the year.
