Blackpool Grand has announced that they will be hosting a condensed and COVID-safe pantomime fundraiser this year called Pantomonium! from 18 December 2020 – 3 January 2021.

Penned by award-winning scriptwriter Jon Monie, Pantomonium! has been written specially for the current situation and is essentially a one-act pantomime about pantomime.

Producer, Martin Dodd, said: “Unfortunately, we had to postpone our usual major production as the costs and limitations just wouldn’t work based on COVID safe admission numbers.

“However, after long discussions and the generous support of Steve Royle, Tom Lister and many of our regular suppliers we’ve created a show, a fantastic show, that’s all about Panto!

“All profits will go to Blackpool Grand, and we hope with the support of our great audience we create a total sell-out.”

Actor, Tom Lister, added: “Having performed at Blackpool Grand many times it’s a favourite of mine. I was keen to help them last year with their 125th Anniversary and it’s hard to believe only months later the building was forced to close its doors. Martin contacted me and I agreed we had to do something.

“It’s going to be a fantastic production and we all know the quality UK Productions are known for at Blackpool Grand. There is going to be a few less people on stage and a few less of you, so bring your enthusiasm in spades, you’re in for a great time! We can’t wait to see you all.”
