A post shared by La Clique (@lacliquetheshow) on

Circus, song, dance... there was plenty to enjoy on stage at Christmas in Leicester Square in 2019. See what was on below.

• The velvet-draped 1920s Leicester Square spiegeltent hosted multi-award winning show, La Clique as it returned with jugglers, fire-breathing, sword-swallowing acts and more.
• The year ended with the NYE Spectacular, a heart-pumping spectacle followed by a fist-pumping party – a New Year's Eve in London send-off like no other.
• The Puppini Sisters – the queens of three-part harmonies, retro-chic and swing – rocked the stage.
• Drag-infused nostalgia came courtesy of Spice Gals, while the Tuck Shop drag queens 'sleighed' the Tucking Around the Christmas Tree show.
• Lickable: The All Senses Christmas Cabaret put on a feast of laughs.
