Along the way, we’ll explore the pantomime genre itself – its quirks, its history, and why it continues to delight audiences across the UK. Whether you’re a panto fan, theatre lover, or just curious about what it takes to stage hundreds of shows at once, Just Imagine offers a fun and fascinating listen.

Episode 39 - Sean Dodds
The fabulous Sean Dodds is the regular comic for The Spa Centre panto each year and Martin caught up with him at the photoshoot for this year’s pantomime, Cinderella.
Sean has worked with Spa Centre Dame JP McCue since 2014 and he talks about how important their bond is and why this helps to make the Spa Centre panto such a hit with the audience and just what it is that makes him love panto so much.
They also discuss how his early years in Leicester developed his interest in becoming a professional performer and the other types of projects he works on when not working on pantomime.
