Justin Fletcher to star in Hexagon panto

March 03, 2010

Children's TV star Justin Fletcher is to star in panto at Reading’s Hexagon this year.

Justin – who was given an MBE in 2008 for services to children’s broadcasting and the voluntary sector – will play Josh the Jester in Sleeping Beauty.

The show, created for Reading audiences, will run from December 4 to January 2.

Justin said he was delighted to have landed the role, which is a new production from Imagine Theatre, one of the UK’s leading pantomime and theatre production companies.

He said: “I’m Reading born and bred so this is such a thrill for me. It’s the first time in more than 10 years I am not going to be away from my home town working over Christmas, so I am really looking forward to being in such a great panto.”

Arrrghhhh!!!

This man is never off my TV or iPlayer . . . GiggleBiz is running constantly in our house. But I have to admit he is very talented when it comes to children's entertainment.

Thankfully the kids go to the panto with their school so I won't have to 'experience Justin in the flesh'!

His eyes are too close together. Beware...

My little 'un loves watching Justin's shows. She constantly asks for Gigglebits on the iPlayer. No complaints from me as it's a decent little show.

Richiecola - You've clearly got no kids. Justin has got about 90% of Cbeebies shows - and not just the easy stuff. Good for you Justin. My kids and there friends will love seeing you and all your friends.
