Returning this year are our favourite panto comedy duo Cannon and Ball
Comedy duo Cannon and Ball are to return to the Crewe Lyceum this year for the panto Peter Pan.
The pair are returning following the record-breaking success of last year's pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
It will be the fourth consecutive appearance from the comedy act.
Best known for their legendary comedy variety show The Cannon & Ball Show which ran for over nine years, Tommy and Bobby have established their reputation as one of the nation's best-loved comedy double acts.
Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball as the Henchmen with Jenny Gayner as Queen Lucretia.
Having starred as the Policemen in Aladdin in 2016, the Wicked Queen's Henchmen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 2017, and as the Brothers Trot in Jack and the Beanstalk last year, the boys have won rave reviews.
Bobby said: "The Crewe Lyceum is a beautiful theatre. It feels very special to play because it's so intimate and easy to connect with the audience. Pantomime can be the first experience of theatre for many kids and it's a delight and a responsibility to usher in a new generation of theatre-goers."

Adam Knight, the theatre director, said: "We are delighted to welcome Cannon & Ball back to Crewe. Tommy and Bobby's humour has tickled audiences in Cheshire, Staffordshire and beyond. These comedy kings are sure to bring bags of laughter to audiences this festive season."
The pantomime will open on Friday, December 13 and will run until January 5.
