Ours is ok in parts - Barney from Blue Peter, The Hoff and Su Pollard!

There must be worse than this around the country. I'm thinking ex-Gladiators etc...

We have julian clarey.

No idea who the rest of them are.

The one nearest to me isn't naming any names on the poster, so I'm assuming they couldn't get any 'celebs', not even ex soap stars. Classy.

H from Steps Smile

You lot get celebs? We just get common or garden actors. Nobody famous Sad

Jo Brand and Matthew Kelly!

we apparently have the ' wonderful' same difference who are also gracing the Xmas lights switch on - oh the giddy heights of sophistication...

CloserLook · 04/11/2013 16:36

We have Dr Carter from Corrie at one near us. Not heard of a single celeb in our nearest one though. Confused

snozzlemaid · 04/11/2013 16:39

Joanna Monro! Didn't know the name but recognised her face. I now remember her from That's Life with Esther Rantzen and Angels back in the 80's.
Not in the least bit interesting but very unusual I'd have thought.

NotAQueef · 04/11/2013 16:41

We don't seem to get any famous/formerly famous bods where I live now either!
Where I grew up we always went to St Albans who always had 'celebs' in their pantos. I would go every year as my birthday treat (curse of 30 Dec birthday).

We have Gareth Gates, having had Mr Maker for the past two years.

Jenny70 · 04/11/2013 16:53

The Fonz, aka Henry Winkler!

ShatnersBassoon · 04/11/2013 16:55

I think Same Difference are nearest the bottom of the barrel so far Grin

Nearest to us is the Bath Theatre Royal with Cliff Parisi and Jon Monie. Never heard of either of them.

sarahandemily · 04/11/2013 17:03

Mr bloom is in Manchester

MrsOakenshield · 04/11/2013 17:04

The Fonz!

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 04/11/2013 17:06

Here comes the hot stepper - we might be neighbours!

Count yourself lucky if you dont have a sleb - our panto costs a fortune...

CinnabarRed · 04/11/2013 17:07

High Wycombe is our closest theatre. We've got Shane Ritchie! I'm a bit over-excited now I've found that out!

ShatnersBassoon · 04/11/2013 17:07

I'm quite jealous of The Fonz. He is pretty cool. Also Jo Brand, I bet she'd be great fun to watch.
