Tweedy, who has recently finished a tour across Gloucestershire with Giffords Circus, is gearing up for the start of rehearsals.

Festive

This will mark his first appearance in a festive show in the Cheltenham theatre.

But he was no stranger to the style, having made an appearance in pantomime every year for the last 20 years.

Dick Whittington runs at the Everyman from November 30 to January 11.

A spokesman said: "This year's pantomime promises to be jam-packed full of laughs, songs, thrills and spills with a few surprises too."

The show even has a local connection to Gloucestershire with the real-life Dick Whittington said to have originally hailed from Pauntley, near Newent.
