View Full Version : Pantos!
:D Anyone going to see a pantomime this year?
I love pantos :rolleyes: but we haven't been for about 3 years now since our kids outgrew it :lol:
Mrsp54 wants the two of us to go this year and I think we might. Panto definitely brings out the child in the pair of us :lol::huh:
We have seen loads, but some of the best were with Barbara Windsor, who was great when someone forgot their lines and she is a great ad libber :lol:
I also loved Joe Pasquale in panto. I wasn't too keen on him before hand, but he is a natural comic and just had everyone in fits of laughter. His jokes are soooo corny, but he brought the house down :lol: His first appearance was solo, and he walked on stage with a cart with a bucket and ladders. He got the ladder out of the cart and said -
' This is my step ladder.....................my real ladder left home when I was 2' :lol: The theatre erupted!!
Soooo corny, but he was born to do panto :rolleyes:
Anyone else going to admit to loving panto - c'mon don't be shy, I've 'come out' - don't leave me to be the only one.........please! :blush: :lol::rolleyes:

I think we need it SP. If people get their way and get Punch and Judy banned because of it not being PC anymore, then it's only a matter of time before they traditional pantos are looked at.
What's this place without a 'LOOK BEHIND YOU!'.
Madness!

I have to confess I have never seen one.
So, which one is your favourite?

I haven't got a particular favourite, but honestly, they are all great fun :lol::rolleyes: I have never seen a bad one ^_^ We used to take our kids a couple of days before Christmas and they really loved it.
I love all the Pantos that I've seen in Glasgow. the King's theatre traditionally has the best pantos ;) Very glasgow humour though. i've been taken too see them since I was little in Stanley Baxter's glory days. Now he made a fantastic dame:lol:
Now Gerard Kelly and Elaine C Smith keep 'em laughing in the ailes

I agree with you that the King's Theatre is pretty good for pantos:). It's one of the things I miss most about not being in Scotland is Christmas & Hogmanay and everything that goes with it:(. I've not been to a panto for over a decade now my wee one won't sit still enough even for panto:tomato::shutit::doh:. So I'll just be staying in again:curly:
:D Our panto tickets arrived today :D
Hubby and I weren't going to bother but it was our eldest son [he's 27 mind :rolleyes:] and our daughter [19] who nagged us into booking :rolleyes: Our other son isn't too bothered - he'd rather stay at home with his puppy :lol::rolleyes:
I thought it was quite nice that even at their age they wanted to go as a family, so they must have happy memories of all the years we used to go when the 3 of them were little :) Our sons girlfriend is coming too and it will be her first ever panto - she's really excited about it, bless her :lol::rolleyes:
We couldn't get tickets for before Christmas so we are going on the 3rd Jan to see Snow White with Ross Kemp & Bobby Davro
I can't wait :D
