Duncan is like a ticking bomb. he listens to everything you have to say, then he either humiliate you or is extremely interested

[@valjafar367]

Duncan looked so done with the performance. And Peter's face when the drag queens talked about the handsome dates for the ball 😐😐🤔🤨

[@SilverMist0121]

🤣🤣

[@haydencooper_]

That's their normal reaction to 99% of pitches though 😆 I wouldn't read too much into it.

[@Reebus_]

Any pitch that involves children or animals really annoys me for some reason. It's using them to pull the emotional strings.

[@00Kuja00]

Me too.

[@Zenocius]

Doug Richard wouldn't mind I'm sure

[@pipedown7969]

I really always wonder to myself how any of these entrepreneurs, with these style of pitches, think they are a good idea?

[@haydencooper_]

I didn't like them lining up in front of the dragons, at least they bowed and left. I was worried they were going to be there while the other 2 gave their speech.

[@kierandesouza7678]

agree

[@noahshipman3564]

The Polka Dot Pantomimes website is still up, and there are shows scheduled for December 2022, so it looks like they're still around.

[@NotASith]

just saw one of theirs yesterday in Spalding,, they are great

[@abigailackom337]

This is by far the liveliest and most entertaining pitch I’ve seen in the den. Absolutely loved the theatrical presentation ☺️

[@ouroborostechnologies696]

Which most of the time has been a bad thing.

[@buckethead133]

I would be bored to death.

[@Sam-yr8ls]

First time I ever had to fast forward a pitch, that really made me cringe so badly I turned inside out.

[@spoonerstreet32]

Time to see which dragon has been 'unusually quite' today.

[@MovingToAustralia-MikeBentley]

Yep. And which one 'looks confused' and who is "concerned'

I found the "performance pitch" to be completely annoying. Not surprised they didn't get an investment.

[@Bookish_Lattes]

It's okay Dragons, you can crack a smile, it doesn't cost you anything.

[@madamefeast4824]

Actually, $225,000 every 3 seconds

[@janeclarkson8471]

They're mostly without humour, which is a pity! Btw Peter often invests with a 3 year wait. He's always demeaning about pitches or products he's not keen on! He dies verge on the arrogant.Being a billionaire doesn't give you class or the right to be rude and obnoxious.

[@Mike-jl2kp]

Peter's assessment at the end was spot on - it was a great pitch (i was captivated) but it's not an investment for a Dragon. I never see these theatre/performance type pitches get investment

[@rubberduck3788]

Duncan invested in Razzamataz quite some ago, which was a theatre/dance group, I believe they ended up doing quite well too? Seem to be around still anyway!

[@ayy_flo6121]

Darren Maddison used to be my director for my performing arts school musical and was a teacher there. He was the best teacher and is still very successful with pantomimes

[@reaperoflostsouls4323]

Did i hear right ..Minger and Munter love to see how that would go down on a stage show lol

[@aaronlomax6102]

Should have pitched when Doug Richard was a Dragon - anything involving children he’d have been all over.

[@comicbookdude]

Savage lol

[@iranicus3393]

I must be mishearing the equity percentage at the start when the lady said 10% since the dragons were talking about 20%

[@peaty32]

That wasn't at all annoying..

[@pandavx]

this is the most entertaining pitch i ever got to see

[@yowhaatsup]

Are these series being filmed in a parallel universe? They don't stop uploading these.

I think they made a right song and dance of this. Their comedy was acting up... but no dramas honestly.
