Well, Slap My Thigh...

Went all the way to Birmingham yesterday to see John Barrowman in pantomime (Robin Hood). I'm a sucker for a good panto anyway and this was truly, gloriously silly. Barrowman is such a ham, he's perfect. (And the rest of the cast were also excellent.) Plenty if innuendo, lots of good singing, some very decent dancing and a bit of ice skating, too.

The whole thing was so good humoured; I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Well worth travelling from Huddersfield to Birmingam in cold January.

Americans, it has nothing to do with mime artists. If you don't grok pantomime look here.

John Barrowman is definitely brilliant in panto. I saw him in Cardiff a couple of years ago in Jack and the Beanstalk. and it was a wonderful evening. It was the last night and the cast were still obviously having a hoot.

Yes, this was the penultimate night and everyone was having fun.

I'm jealous. It's sounds like it was a lot of fun.

And wasn't the ventriloquist good? (Which is not something I thought I'd ever say)

Yes, he was bloody brilliant - both with and without the dummy.
