Hilarious impressionist Paul Burling made it to our screens as a finalist in 2010 in Britain’s Got Talent and has been amazing and thrilling audiences since on TV and stage across the UK. The panto regular said of his return:

Paul says of his return to Swindon: ‘I had such an amazing time at The Wyvern last year and am delighted to be coming back in Snow White with David! We’re looking forward to another spectacular season of silliness and can’t wait to see you there!’

Joining Paul is Swindon’s favourite dame David Ashley. His 30-year career has seen him perform across the West End in shows such as Cats, Les Misérables, Blood Brothers, Starlight Express and Me and My Girl. This year will mark his 10th Pantomime at the Wyvern Theatre.

David says: ‘I love doing panto at The Wyvern, it’s one of the highlights of my year, so I’m really excited to be coming back again. I’m already picking out my most extravagant frock!’

Laura James the Theatre Director at the Wyvern Theatre says: ‘We are absolutely thrilled that Paul and David will be returning to Swindon this year. They completely stole the show in last year’s Beauty and the Beast and provided some of the best comedy moments we’ve had in years. Our wonderful Panto audiences clearly adored them both, and we cannot wait to welcome them back to our stage. Oh no we can’t!’
