Ladies & Jellyspoons, Boys, Girls and members of Muddles Gang! Ahola, Benvenuto, Shalom, Bienvenue, Willkommen, and of course WELCOME, to my Panto Blog for the 2014/15 season!!

I'm back once again in my beloved Guildford at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre - my "Home from Home Theatre!" This year I'll be playing Muddles the Jester in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves!" alongside Josie Lawrence as Queen Morgiana in her first ever Pantomime. Also along for the ride are my chums Peter 'PG' Gordon and Kit Hesketh Harvey, returning on form as ever!!

The Arnaud is also welcoming back another old friend this year - Ray Griffiths - who will wreaking havoc as Cheeky! Ray, with a wealth of experience in both Film and Theatre, is a Childhood legend to people my age... famous as "Rammit Ray!"

Whether you're a regular reader of my Panto wafflings or a new reader... it's great to have you with us!! As anyone that knows me will testify I am a self confessed

PANTO GEEK & Christmas Connoisseur ...

so I'm hoping these ramblings will not only keep you entertained in the run up to Christmas but also trigger a smile once those January blues set in!


My blog is a happy little insight into wonderful world of Pantomime... looking both from a performers and theatre-goers perspective. I'll chart the highs and lows of the rehearsal process, the trials and titivations of the Tech week and of course everything you want to know and MORE from the run itself.

I thoroughly enjoy sharing my thoughts along with all of the mishaps, jokes and goings on from the show! My annual Blog is very much part of the festive fun for me now... but don't worry... I never give anything away that will spoil the surprise or your enjoyment of the show!!

So sit back... buckle up and enjoy the ride as we hurtle towards the Pantomime Season 2014!!!
