A bawdy adult pantomime by The Market Theatre's Adult Panto Company that turns the tale of Dick Whittington into a fast, funny show for over-16s.
The Market Theatre's Adult Panto Company are bringing The Adult Panto: Puss & Dick! to the Royal Hippodrome Theatre on Saturday 6 February 2027. It's their take on the story of Dick Whittington, though you'll find it's a far cry from the children's version. The company has been touring the UK since 2004, taking classic fairy tales and corrupting them beyond recognition with their own brand of adult panto.
The show is built on a deliberately sparse formula: a fearless company of just three actors, a minimum of set props, costume and cast, and a script that pushes the traditional tale into hilariously naughty territory. It's fast, furious and very funny, with sketches that critics have compared to The Two Ronnies and a quintessentially British sensibility — like a Carry On film made by a Rugby Club. If that rings a bell, you've got a good idea of where this is heading.
