This year's panto round up

* Chico is playing Prince Charming
in Swansea this year. (Nick Cave
enjoyed Chico's turn in Aladdin a
few years ago. He was spotted singing
along to every word of It's Chico
Time and pointing a big foam finger
at the stage.)

* Lesley Joseph will be starring in
panto at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
Good news for Lesley Joseph's stalker,
Gilbert; bad news for whoever is
working the stage door.

* Bets on the filthiest dressing
rooms? Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow.
John Barrowman and the Krankies.
Swinging for their supper, we hope.

* Ann Widdecombe is appearing in
Snow White in High Wycombe. And
for some reason, that's not a joke.

* Denise Nolan is reprising her
'record-breaking' role of the Wicked
Queen in Broxburne again. (The record
she broke when she first performed it
in 2007? 'Biggest Selling Pantomime In
Broxburne'.)

* Lolly is starring at Weymouth,
alongside Eurovision flop Andy Abraham.
