Dick Whittingberg Gets Into a Pickle
JW3’s annual pantomime has become a welcome seasonal fixture, distinguishing itself via zany, community-centred humour, some decent names, and its compelling USP of being the only panto in London that you can catch on Christmas Day. The 2026 edition is very clearly a spin on Dick Whittington, and follows Dick and has cat Teyve as they arrive in town from the pale, hoping to make their fortune in London town. As per usual it’s written by comic Nick Cassenbaum and directed by Abigail Anderson.
