Show Notes

This week Martin goes backstage at DMH where he spent 10 years performing in panto himself to chat to the cast of this year’s Jack and the Beanstalk.

He finds out how Scott Mills has settled in to his first ever pantomime, learns Jarred Christmas’s process for choosing his final jokes for the show, discovers how son Jack Ballard is getting on playing his first ever Dame role as well as finding out about Mark Read’s theatrical background, catching up with DMH panto regular and X-Factor winner Sam Bailey and meeting Mark Beauchamp and Christina Harris who are appearing in their first DMH panto.

This is a fascinating podcast full of backstage banter and behind the scenes info.

Don’t miss it!
