The King's Head Theatre has named ten guest performers for its adults-only pantomime, Dick Whittington: Adults Only. Each one will appear for a single night. WhatsOnStage published the line-up on 4 November 2026.

A pantomime is a comic musical version of a traditional story, usually staged as a family show over the Christmas season. This one is written for grown-ups. It was written and directed by Andrew Pollard, and it runs from 26 November 2026 to 2 January 2027.

A guest performer is a well-known name who joins a cast for one performance rather than the whole run. The first is Sooz Kempner, on 26 November. Kate Butch follows on 27 November, and Danielle Steers on 28 November.

Ginger Johnson appears on 3 December and Adam All on 5 December. Lauren Samuels is booked for 11 December, and Don One for 16 December.

The guest list continues through the holiday period. Rodney Vubya performs on 27 December and Vikki Stone on 30 December. Rufus Hound is the final name announced, on 2 January, the last day of the run.

Because each guest is booked for one night, audiences will see a different name on the bill depending on the date they choose. Best of Theatre lists the same ten names. WhatsOnStage reports that more guest performers are expected to be announced.

Anyone planning a visit can check the production's dates against the guest list. Tickets and prices are not part of this announcement.
