What to expect from Potted Panto?

Potted Panto is a whirlwind of panto tropes combined with biggest stories and favourite characters from pantomime. Each show is approximately 70 minutes of pure hilarity and you’ll never know what you’re going to get. Whether it’s a dastardly double act dash with Aladdin on the streets of Agrabah or roaming the golden streets of Dick Whittington’s London. Or hilarious full-scale versions of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, where the cast try and spread two performers into seven dwarves, whilst sizing up which of them will make the prettiest princess!
