Dick Whittington – A New Dick in Town @ Above The Stag (until 10 Jan 2021)

Dick might not be straight but hes pointing in the right direction. Called to London by the enormous dong of Big Ben, young country boy Richard Whittington arrives in the city in search of fun, fame and fortune. Where should he live? Who should he hang out with? Whats with all the brunches? And why is Sainsburys so SMALL? But before he can get settled, Dick is plunged headfirst into a great adventure that will make his name! Yes, this is one Dick that will soon be on everyones lips. Above The Stags rude and romantic adult pantomimes are a riot of colourful characters, blending festive filth with timeless traditions like songs, sweet-throwing and very silly jokes. With ten years of total sell-outs, make sure to book early for a winter treat.
