Andrew Pollard said: “The adult panto, this year, promises to be better - and naughtier - than ever, featuring in the main cast, not only two amazing drag queens but also a drag king! Add our special guest stars into this mix - headline entertainers from the worlds of drag and the west end - and you’re in for a festive feast of filthy fun! Oh, yes, you are!”
