Guest performers set for King’s Head Theatre pantomime

Rufus Hound, Vikki Stone, Danielle Steers and Ginger Johnson are among the guest performers announced for the King’s Head Theatre’s adult pantomime, Dick Whittington: Adults Only.

The performers will each appear for one night during the production’s run, which takes place from 26 November 2026 to 2 January 2027.

The guest stars announced are Sooz Kempner (26 November), Kate Butch (27 November), Steers (28 November), Johnson (3 December), Adam All (5 December), Lauren Samuels (11 December), Don One (16 December), Rodney Vubya (27 December), Stone (30 December) and Hound (2 January). More guest performers are expected to be announced.

The production’s regular cast includes Joseph Vella in the title role, Patricia Wilkins as Alice Fitzgerald, Sé Carr, also known as drag king Jamie Fuxx, as Ding-Dong/Elvis Pawsley, and Ash Weir as Anne Semble. They are joined by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK contestants Victoria Scone as Dragpuss and River Medway as Queen Rat.

Written and directed by Andrew Pollard, the production will run alongside the family pantomime, Dick Whittington and His Cat, which runs from 22 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.

Pollard said: “The adult panto, this year, promises to be better – and naughtier – than ever, featuring in the main cast, not only two amazing drag queens but also a drag king! Add our special guest stars into this mix – headline entertainers from the worlds of drag and the West End – and you’re in for a festive feast of filthy fun! Oh, yes, you are!”

The creative team includes set and costume designer Nicky Bunch, choreographer Elize Layton, musical supervisor and musical director George W. Parris, lighting designer Alex Lewer, sound designer Anna Short and costume supervisor Robin Lill. General management is provided by James Quaife for Luminous Entertainment Group.

Both productions will have Pay What You Can performances, with tickets from £15 available throughout their runs. The theatre will also continue its Golden Bells Pay It Forward scheme, which provides free tickets to children and families who might otherwise be unable to attend.

The King’s Head Theatre is also continuing its partnership with the Mayor of Islington’s 11 by 11 scheme, which aims to give every child access to at least 11 free cultural activities by the age of 11. More than 2,250 schoolchildren have attended the theatre for free over the past two years.
