Pls help me track down this actor…

Last year we saw the most hilarious actor in panto. He was brilliant, had an amazing singing voice and made us cry with laughter.

We’d love to see him again this year, but he shares a name with a famous song writer and Googling doesn’t throw up any results.

Is there any other way of finding out whether this comic genius is in panto again this year?

I'm good at investigating this type of thing because I'm nosey. However I'm far TOO nosey to do it if you won't say who it is.

Christmastinsel78 · 15/10/2024 17:02

Jeez just name him! He's an actor they love the attention.

Is his name Richard Gadd by any chance?

Came here to say it’s giving Sent from my ipone vibes

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 15/10/2024 17:03

He's unlikely to read this thread, and even if he did he'd be glad someone had enjoyed last year's panto so much they wanted to track him down for this year's. Tell us his name, someone will probably recognise it from their local theatre's programme.

AllHisCaterpillarFriends · 15/10/2024 17:00

Indeed.

Honestly OP you are being ridiculous, or he has an injunction out against you.

Because there is no reason not to name him otherwise.

That was my initial thought!

FelixtheAardvark · 15/10/2024 17:00

An actor who didn't want to be named on line?

There ain't no such animal.

😆 "what me an actor, want people to know my name and that I'm good?! For shame! Nevah!!"

NooNakedJacuzziness · 15/10/2024 17:10

Richard Whittington ?

StillAtTheRestaurant · 15/10/2024 17:12

Honestly just ring your son and ask him where he's in panto this year.

chickenlettuceunderbacon · 15/10/2024 17:18

So you want to track down an actor, decide to start a thread on a public forum but don't want to name him.

FFS, you're being ridiculous.

Edited to ask if you have any more information re. the panto he was in/which theatre, part etc. Any information at all that might help? Or is this some kind of guessing game?

DoreenonTill8 · 15/10/2024 17:19

Mr/Lord Tumble?

Silvers11 · 15/10/2024 17:21

Does he have an injunction against you because you have been stalking him? No?? Well don't be ridiculous and tell us his name and lots of us can have a look for him.

Or is this a wind up?

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 15/10/2024 17:23

To answer your question, OP, no we can't help you track down this unnamed actor from an unnamed panto in an unnamed place. It's like playing Cluedo. If you give us something to go on we might be able to.

EngineEngineNumber9 · 15/10/2024 17:23

Maybe he’s called Burt Bacharach or Max Martin 🤔

yeaitsmeagain · 15/10/2024 17:23

It wasn't weird until you refused to name him and now it's weird and creepy because it sounds like you have an ulterior motive.

MainStreetOrHighStreet · 15/10/2024 17:24

I think I know who this is, OP. Kanye West's Widow Twanky at the Crewe Lyceum was up there with the best of Biggins.

HowGoesTheStalkingLovey · 15/10/2024 17:27

He’s behind you!

TroysMammy · 15/10/2024 17:30

Unbelievable. I've read some batshittery on Mumsnet but this is way off the scale.

MissMoneyFairy · 15/10/2024 17:31

HowGoesTheStalkingLovey · 15/10/2024 17:27

He’s behind you!

Oh no he isn't. Seriously op just tiktok him and ask, why be so secretive or look up the panto last year for the cast.

Hadjab · 15/10/2024 17:33

FrancisSeaton · 15/10/2024 17:01

You beat me to it!

Sorry, I don’t want to name him as he’s not particularly famous and would probably be bemused at being the subject of a MN post.

My question is more whether there’s any sort of list or specific publication that has panto casting in it.

I’ve looked on his Spotlight page but it only has his past roles.

Cloak and dagger nonsense to avoid his potential bemusement should he stumble across your enquiry!? 👀 😶‍🌫️
You need help op but not the kind you're asking for.
Someone would have had you his next appearance and inside leg measurement to go with it by now if you just gave his name!

HowGoesTheStalkingLovey · 15/10/2024 17:27

This is beyond ridiculous.

And...your post is entirely complimentary about him.

MissMoneyFairy · 15/10/2024 17:43

Surely his past roles in Spotlight mentions his panto character, what a weird thread.

BluebellsareBlue · 15/10/2024 17:44

Looks like OP wants to keep this amazing talented man to herself. Personally, if I had been so taken by someone's talent that I was going out of my way to see them again I'd be shouting from the rooftops telling everyone to try and get the person the good exposure they so rightly deserved.

Strange post OP, are you genuine? If you are then can you see how stupid this is?
