A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 – audio version

The audio from A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 for those that find all of my suits are a bit hard on your eyes..

A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 brings you the unexpected festive farce that you’ve come to expect from someone who has inflatable legs for a window.Low budget has been swapped out for no budget this year as a Xanadu-themed Xmas special brings you the talents of Leslie Fountain (Glenn Keenan), Fat Elvis (Chris Kelly, Ship-o’-Fools) and Olivia Cardboard-John on the Maynard International Studios Mainstage, as well as greetings from around the world and around Tony Push (whose new teeth are a feature this year), plus more impractical outfits and the wonders of Magpie TV.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 brings you the unexpected festive farce that you’ve come to expect from someone who has inflatable legs for a window.

Watch in wonder at A Very Maynard Xmas 2025

Guests include Tim Ferguson (Australian legend), one Wiggle and two Cockroaches and an indeterminate Xmas hand puppet. Leslie Fountain brings his finest Xanadu moves to our stage, Brigitte Handley has issues with technology, Tony Push is poorly lit on a dodgy street in Western Sydney, and George Hrab is all over Xmas like a rash as usual.

It’s the Xmas special that you probably don’t want or need, but you have anyway. Just in case everything else falls through. Where else are you going to get someone in a tree getting excited about Supernaut?

A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 promises you an hour of Xmas entertainment for which you will only have yourself to blame. Musically the show has everything from Swing to The New Seekers in their flares and maxi dresses. Plus, as expected, both the West Germans and that magpie remain permanently unimpressed.

Video – A Very Maynard Xmas 2024

It’s a “cavalcade of clever” on A Very Maynard Xmas 2024. We’ve made it our most expensive low budget Xmas special ever from Maynard International Studios. For a change, there is also some real talent on the show this year. Plus more loud suits than ever! AND a magpie.

This year the show comes live with guests on stage at Maynard International Studios. Lesley Fountain brings his finest 60s go-go dancing to our shonky stage, Brigitte Handley shows off her new German boyfriend, Christopher Laird shows us his house, Tony Push reads his Kylie Minogue inspired Xmas poem, George Hrab has a track from his new Stocking Stuffer album, Roy Darby impresses everyone with a live set on the main shonky stage and Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools juggles and almost has a groin strain.

Yes, it’s another end of year Maynard video show special that makes all the other shows look so awfully “professional” and “capable”.

Watch the festive foolish farce that is A Very Maynard Xmas 2024

A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 promises you an hour of Xmas entertainment for which you will only have yourself to blame. Musically the show has everything from rockabilly to Kylie Minogue and Village People. Plus a really unimpressed magpie.
