He is appearing in Panto, in Preston, where he is second billing to Ted Robbins
panto:
for the international amongst you, panto is a British christmas tradition - plays put on in small towns and cities all over the county, aimed at children, based on traditional childrens stories - Aladdin, Cinderella and the like - but all more or less following the same plot, regardless of the story, with all kinds of strange traditions and conventions. although some big names do appear, it is the ultimate of has-been to be in panto
preston:
the small northern british city I live in, half-way between Manchester and Blackpool. slightly depressed former mill-town thats only kept alive by its HUGE university. Kenny Baker lives here (just round the corner from me) and he gets very angry if people shout "R2D2" at him.
Ted Robbins:
northern british middle-aged overweight comedian. does a lot of warm-up on TV. very end-of-the-peir, working mens club in his style. his sister is an impressionist
