You've been in panto? Sweet!
I wasn't
in the panto, but teching it. I was on sound that time (usually lighting, which I preferred). I had the terrible task of getting Ronnie Corbett to use his radio mic properly* (which did result in the amusing experience of being given Notes by a Mr Barker, R).
For the record, and now my sins are in the open, I declare the following offences against the dramatic arts:
Russ Abbott, Robin Hood, Bradford Alhambra
Bobby Knutt, Mother Goose, Sheffield Crucible (Also starred Gillian Hanna, Russell Dixon & Clive Rowe)
Vince Hill, ???, Halifax Civic
Various, Sheffield City Hall
Oh gods, there were probably others (I'm sure I did one at Newcastle Playhouse). And the spesh acts! Oh gods, the spesh acts! #flashbacks
* Not difficult: You speak into it and don't mess with your jabot
