About the Show

The Olivier Award-nominated pantomime returns to London for another festive season.

Potted Panto returns for its third consecutive holiday season, offering a fast-paced run through seven classic pantomimes in just 80 minutes. The show features a comedic double act racing through beloved stories such as Aladdin, Dick Whittington, and Cinderella, blending slapstick, parody, and theatrical chaos in a compact festive celebration.

The 2025 cast includes Gary Trainor, whose stage credits include Back to the Future (West End), School of Rock the Musical (USA tour and West End original cast), and Beautiful (Aldwych original cast). He joins co-writer and performer Daniel Clarkson in this Olivier Award-nominated production.

Presented at Wilton’s Music Hall, Potted Panto continues its East End run following successful residencies in 2023 and 2024.
