Pantomime season

For so many of our subscribers, the annual pantomime season is a pivotal part of their working year. Some performers even spurn the big earnings gleaned from Christmas cabaret functions to appear in and sample panto-joy. Below are just a few of our subscribers and the details of their pantomime adventures at this special time of year. Mark Ritchie takes us through them.

Tony Peers Productions- Scarborough based Tony was a comedian and Pantomime Dame of some repute. For a long time now, Tony’s company has been involved in Panto-land, with many productions out there this year.

Billy Pearce- Appearing for the 20th consecutive year at The Alhambra Theatre in Bradford, Billy is a pantomime King, who is one of the brightest panto stars in the famous Qdos firmament.
