Guest performers announced for King’s Head Theatre pantomime
The King’s Head Theatre has announced 10 guest performers for its 2026 adult pantomime, Dick Whittington: Adults Only, giving London audiences a different special appearance on selected performances from 26 November 2026 to 2 January 2027.
The newly announced line-up is: Sooz Kempner (26 November), Kate Butch (27 November), Danielle Steers (28 November), Ginger Johnson (3 December), Adam All (5 December), Lauren Samuels (11 December), Don One (16 December), Rodney Vubya (27 December), Vikki Stone (30 December) and Rufus Hound (2 January). The theatre says further guest-star announcements will follow.
What to expect from the adult panto
Each guest performer will join the production for one performance and perform a song number, alongside the returning principal cast. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK favourites Victoria Scone and River Medway star in the show: Scone returns to the venue after playing Dame Trott in last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk, while Medway makes her King’s Head Theatre debut as Queen Rat. The theatre’s guest-star announcement describes the visitors as musical-theatre and drag performers, so the guest dates are particularly useful for fans choosing when to book.
The production is written and directed by Andrew Pollard, with a comic retelling that sends Dick into London’s sewers to confront Queen Rat. It is the adult counterpart to the theatre’s family pantomime, Dick Whittington and His Cat, which opens on 22 November and should not be confused with the adults-only performances.
Dates, age guidance and booking
The current production page lists Dick Whittington: Adults Only from Thursday 26 November 2026 until Saturday 2 January 2027, with booking open. The show is marketed as an adults-only pantomime, but the venue’s stated age guidance is 16+: audience members aged 16 or 17 must be accompanied by a parent, and parental discretion is advised.
The runtime is listed as to be confirmed, with an approximate length of two hours. Performance start times vary, and the venue advises arriving in good time; its bar and box office open 45 minutes before each performance. If a particular guest is the priority, check the selected date against the guest schedule before booking, as the appearances are date-specific.
