It’s Christmas. Relatives you hardly ever see and who are now very different from you arrive at your house for the festivities. No-one receives a present that is at all appropriate. Culinary disasters abound. Long-buried resentmen’s rear their ugly heads as the alcohol flows and tongues are loosened. Comfort and Joy, Mike Harding’s comedy, is painfully — but always amusingly — familiar.
