The role of the Giant will rotate between a lineup of different high-profile performers across the 6 weeks, to be announced at a later date.

On joining the production Bones said: “I'm so excited to be part of the panto this year! I've been a huge fan of the TuckShop productions, but I'm so glad they have finally realised how to make it even better by having me in it! Jokes aside, it's become tradition for the Drag Race UK winner to take the lead in the productions, and I'm ready to stretch my theatre legs and live up to my predecessors. Now more than ever, it's important for producers like TuckShop to uplift queer talent and bring the community together, especially around Christmas time.”

Stay tuned as the role of THE GIANT will be played by a slew of super special guests throughout the run!

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK tells the infamous and beloved story of a boy whose best friend is a cow, yet he decides to sell him for some beans. TuckShop bring their raucous, chaotic story telling for their longest run ever. Rude, crude and not for prudes (or children!!), this is the very adult, very hilarious, very demure pantomime from the team who brought you The Diana Mixtape, Death Drop, Cool Rider and Gals Aloud. JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, the outrageous all-drag panto is written by Kate Butch, Crudi Dench, and Eleanor Mason, directed and created by Christopher D. Clegg and produced by TuckShop.

Nominate your favorite local productions and performers before the deadline on October 31, 2026.
