WATCH: ‘Scrooge sleeps naked’ in Jersey comedian's festive sketch

Sunday 26 December 2021


A Jersey-born comedian has shared his take on a Christmas classic in a festive skit that comes with a 'not safe for work' disclaimer.

Christian Jegard released the festive video with Comedy Crowd TV, a comedy channel dedicated to discovering the best original comedy by independent creators.

In the sketch, the Ghost of Christmas gets an “unwanted festive surprise” when he descends upon a stark naked Ebenezer Scrooge.

n this comical adaptation, it is not Scrooge who receives the frightful wake-up call, but the ghost!

Video: Christian’s spoof of the classic scene from A Christmas Carol.

Christian began performing at a young age, and many islanders will remember him as the frontman of local indie rock band ‘The Valentines’.

Now Brighton-based, Christian’s wife encouraged him to enter a stand-up comedy course, and he emerged on the stand-up scene in 2019. Since then, Christian has been recognised for his work with a number of national award nominations.  

He was among the finalists in the M​usical Comedy Awards​ ‘Crooner’s Against Corona’ competition and a runner up in the Comedy Crowd TV Showcase. He also won a British Comedy Guide Award for his lockdown music video, 'Stay Inside', while his short film 'Delivery' was shown at the Austin Comedy Film Festival in Texas.
