Crewe Lyceum Theatre has announced the hilarious Malcolm Lord and Ste Johnston will be returning for this year's pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk.

The pair will be back to bring all the panto mayhem and madness to the stage, with Malcolm starring as Dame Trott and Ste, as her son Simon.

Away from the Lyceum stage many have fond memories of Malcolm who appeared in the classic children's programme Rainbow, while over 50 years working in panto has seen him work alongside many of the greats including the much-loved John Inman. 

Malcolm will be starring as Dame Trott with Ste Johnston her son Simon (Crewe Lyceum).

Malcolm said: "I am back And I couldn't be happier, I love coming to the Lyceum each year in panto, the audiences are so fantastic, and we always have such a great time.

"It is true I have worked with many panto greats, and of course it's no different this year as once again I will be joined on stage by the one and only Ste Johnston."

Jack and the Beanstalk will mark the fourth consecutive year Malcolm and Ste have had audiences rolling in the aisles at their on-stage antics.

It is produced by the award-winning Imagine Theatre, who will bring this much-loved fairytale to life in a world full of sparkle and spectacle.

Funny man, Ste Johnston, who recently appeared on the Full Monty on Disney+ said: "Thanks Mum. I can't wait to get back to the Lyceum this year. 

"It is such a brilliant venue who really go all out to make panto feel very special from the minute you walk through the door. I can't wait. We will see you there."
