Went to a panto last night – Jack and the Beanstalk in the Lyric, Hammersmith.

The Lyric is always a bit edgy.
The only white cast member was the evil one ( of course ). The Fairy was of course a very gay drag queen and the most ‘ senior man ‘ was a lady ( black and Jamaican ) with a moustache.

It all worked ok, but there was no Fee Fy Fo Fum and talk of eating Englishmen.

Maybe a bit too far variant from the proper version ( for me n GG ) but hey everyone enjoyed themselves.
GG refuses to join in with the ‘ he’s behind you/ oh yes it is ‘ malarkey, and also wouldn’t volunteer to go onstage.

I got bloody soaked both going and coming back.
Tis the season to be drenched.
