Traveling Group Of Medieval Mummers Is America's Top Pick For Holiday Entertainment

The must-see hit of the holidays is a group of medieval mummers, who are going door-to-door singing old-fashioned ballads and acting out jovial plays in return for mugs of ale and gold pieces.

Let's take a look at the hottest holiday entertainment coming your way. Obviously audiences are excited about Hugo and Arthur Christmas but what America wants to see most this holiday season is this group of Medieval Mummers who have been delighting households across the nation with their dancing, singing, stilt-walking and play-acting. With the latest scoop on the mummers, we're joined by Autumn Stanford. -Ho ho ho Angelique. Ho ho ho to you Autumn. You know what, these mummers seem to be the hit of the season. Everyone lucky enough to already have been visited by them is raving. I know. I feel like everywhere I go it's: "Have you seen the mummers?" and "Where will the mummers go next?" -Mummers mummers mummers! Apparently the praise is completely deserved. These mummers have been going door to door in their home-made costumes and masks performing a show filled with dancing, poem recitals, even lute playing. -Oh, I love lutes! I know, who doesn't? But Angelique, there's more. These mummers also act out a thrilling seven-minute play about Saint George battling a Turkish Knight. And I don't want to give too much away but let's just say a magical apothecary arrives at the end to teach everyone a little lesson about the cycle of rebirth. -No spoilers, Autumn. I'm sorry, my lips are sealed. No more. -And the show has been quite lucrative as well, right? My goodness yes. During opening weekend alone audience members threw as many silver pieces at the mummers as they could earn in a whole month of agricultural labor. Okay, so now one character everyone is talking about is old Father Christmas. Yes, all the gossip sites are going gaga over this guy. He's tall, he has a sonorous voice. -So handsome. He can do a jaunty caper. Everyone wants to know who is under that long mask. Now Autumn, is he single? -I don't know, but there are a lot of unbetrothed maidens asking the same thing. They're going to have to fight me for him. Rumor has it he might even be a landowner. They say the shoes poking out from beneath his garments just seem a little bit too nice to be those of a serf. So, you know what, we've been hearing from fans of the mummers all day long on our website, so take a look at this. It was a really good show. When the fool danced into my kitchen and started singing a song about the fat duke, I was laughing so hard I almost fainted like a milkmaid. That looks so fun. -Yep, but if you want to see these mummers, you better hope they come to your home soon. I understand rats have gotten into their wagons so they may all die of the pox. Alright, sounds like fun for the whole family. Autumn thank you so much for being here. And when we come back we've got exclusive pics of the bridge Danny DeVito just purchased to live under.
