“Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are back on tour, but this time they’re not alone – Mr. Lahey and Randy will be there in all their drunken glory,” reads the show announcement. “When Bubbles tries to spread the true meaning of Christmas to the world, his good-hearted plans are botched by Julian cashing in on the festive season and Ricky’s relentless pursuit of the real Santa. If that wasn’t enough, all three of them have to deal with the very intoxicated Jim Lahey and his cheeseburger eating sidekick, Randy.”
