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.

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.

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.

For the first time, here is A Very Maynard Xmas (pre show)

A Very Maynard Xmas 2023 (in Cheap-O-Scope)

A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. It’s just like an old style Xmas variety show, but without the style, or the show.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson getting a surprise gift, Lesley Fountain dancing with a choir, Brigitte Handley hanging out with some creepy German dolls, Christopher Laird eating some sort of donut, Tony Push reading his Bowie inspired Xmas poem, George Hrab becoming a super hero, Rob and Roy Darby supplying some quality original music and other people who should have something better to do at this time of year.

Watch the festive foolishness of A Very Maynard Xmas 2023

A Very Maynard Xmas 2023 promises you almost an hour of Xmas entertainment that you will only have yourself to blame for. Musically the show has everything from David Essex to The Gibson Brothers and Lulu. Plus a monkey washing a cat.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2022

A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. The extravaganza purports to have a level of Xmas pageantry rarely seen in Australia. This year the spotlight occasionally falls on “unimpressed Germans”: witness attempts by a handful of varied musicians that fail to crack a smile on that Germanic dial.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools, Brigitte Handley, Christopher Laird, Tony Push, Frank Bennett, George Hrab, Mari Wilson, “Weird” Al Yankovic, 3 pugs and loads of Yuletide surprises.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2022 promises you almost two hours of Xmas entertainment you probably won’t be able to describe to friends afterwards. “There was this guy in a suit and Toyah, a bugle, fire, Vegemite, Mari Wilson cursed a fig tree & a Dark Wave guy held up signs in his pyjamas while someone read a poem in Dymocks”.

A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019

Tim Ferguson and Maynard bring you A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019, the Xmas show that doesn’t really want to be here.

Tim wants Lego for Xmas, Maynard doesn’t even want Xmas for Xmas.

Ferguson has his usually spot on predictions for next year, remember he has correctly called every Australian election this century.

To help along the way we have podcast friends from around the world dropping in to make this the most recalcitrant show of your festive season.

Lance Leopard, The Darbys, Karl & Andy from Who Are These Podcasts?, George Hrab, Christopher Laird & Tony Push all bring us their reality of Xmas. See if it matches yours.

From all here at Planet Maynard we wish you A Very Recalcitrant Xmas 2019
