Panto Dame Ego Death

16+
A Pantomime Dame wakes up in a bizarre world filled with real panto characters and sets out on a deadly quest.
Fresh from winning Best Performance at Riverside Studios’ Bitesize Festival 2026, Panto Dame Ego Death is a slap-dash musical comedy about staring failure in the face and belting out that show-stopping number anyway.
Four performers and a workhorse piano tell the story of Denise, a washed-up Pantomime Dame who is transported to a strange other world after choking on stage.
On a mission to return home and save her career, can Denise and a crew of nonsense panto-land characters uncover the scary (and sexy) evil plaguing this world?
Bold, queer, and unashamedly silly, Panto Dame Ego Death is the tale of hitting rock bottom and clawing your way back just in time for the curtain call.
Shortlisted for the Charlie Hartill Award 2026, and winner of the Buzz Goodbody Director’s Award 2025, this absurd adventure is the debut production of Lancaster-based based devising company Pint Glass Theatre.
Runtime: Aprrox. 60 mins with no interval
“Drag Into the Woods, but like if an improv comedy group wrote it in one very inebriated night.”
