What is a pantomime? Iain Lauchlan explains all

[@kennethgreifer5123]

I am in America where pantomime has a totally different meaning. I heard a British person say a show was a pantomime, and I had no idea what the person was talking about, so I looked up British pantomime, and I found out what it is from this video. British comedy is so good. I really enjoy so much of it.

😹😹😹

[@amandatrayes5272]

When we -- as Americans -- first saw a panto while living in England, we could NOT believe our eyes (or ears). It is -- shall we say -- uniquely British. Wonderfully so.

[@helenchelmicka]

😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lucyhardman2267]

Great video. I'm British and have seen and enjoyed pantos, but I wasn't aware of some of the conventions you mentioned. Thanks for the crash course!

[@Nobody76World]

In Woking I only saw Princepal Boy once in Peter Pan and I was never fully aware about the diversion sides, it's very insightful isn't it?

[@Matrix2021]

I’m signposting all my American and Canadian friends to this video. Thank you! 🙌🏼

[@mynameisnotjerome1803]

Thank you so much, I live abroad and I want to teach my students about the great British pantomime!

[@user-gv1zi2vn1k]

My first time hearing of this (as an American)-- how fun!

[@historydegree2013]

I am so glad I finally found this. I’ve heard about Panto in British culture for years and never understood but now I do.

Nor do normal English people, just an excuse for English men to wear women's clothes

Came from which continent?

[@gwens5093]

222 likes and 22 dislikes. ( today's date 02-02-2021) I have been seeing 222 a lot lately.

[@rachaelsmith8764]

I agree about Carabosse being the baddest female baddie I saw sleeping beauty in Carlisle in 2017 and the actress playing Carabosse took her role too seriously

[@dollybear2809]

Got to love a panto!

[@JUANML22]

They talk to the actors ¿Hay una escena de splastick en Panto? ¿Con qué termina el panto?

[@jessh589]

i love pantos! they are the best. thanks for this man! i went to one like two years ago before covid. the dame kept on getting this same dad out of the crowd and flirting with him! (rlly cringily tho lol) but it was well funni! if anyone not from england comes to here then watch a panto! it's worth it.
