Panto is a typically British festive performance genre. It’s an interactive show that is topical, bawdy and camp. I worked on its annual queer incarnation: the Battersea Barge Panto.

Cabaret performer Paul L Martin produced (and often wrote) this queer panto for over 10 years. I had the pleasure of working on the shows for several years, directing the last three shows: Booty and the Biatch, Kitten in Heels and Hairy Poppins.
