Christmas is on the way quicker than you know and I can’t wait! This year is my first Pavilion Pantomime & I am SO excited to be in it.
I know that you've had a successful number of years out at Kilmarnock - what attracted you to the Pavilion this year?
I’ve been in Kilmarnock for 12 years. This year I was offered the chance to appear in the Pavilion in a brand new production of Elfie’s Magical Adventures - I have always been a fan of the Pavilion Theatre & Doing Panto there was one of my lifetime ambitions so I jumped at the chance.

I love it, It’s so much fun creating a magical Christmas character

Craig and I are great friends outside of work - we have an absolute ball on and off stage so the chemistry you see onstage is genuine.
Why do you think panto keeps its place in the programme? I mean, it must be the oldest popular form still drawing in audiences…
Pantomime is a British Institution, It is part of peoples festive activities and going to the panto has been passed down from generation to generation.
