The Twelve Days of Christmas is a comedy album written by Paul Howard as part of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series.[1] The title is a reference to a Christmas song of the same name. The project was the idea of Richard Cook.[2]

The CD tells the story of the run-up to Ross's Christmas. It stars Risteárd Cooper (as Ross), Lisa Lambe (as Sorcha), Mark Lambert, Helen Norton, Tara Flynn, Rory Keenan, Karen Ardiff and Paul Howard.[3][4] Lambe would later play Sorcha in the stage versions of RO'CK: Howard said "Everyone on the CD was great but she was the stand-out. She completely got who Sorcha was."[5]
