Who is wishee washee aladdin

For me it's the audience participation and the fact that there's nothing else like it that we do. It's lovely to see the reaction of the audience and of course the audience can get involved and boo and hiss and cheer to their hearts' content. I'm playing Wishy Washy who is Aladdin's brother and probably the more loveable of Nana Knickerbocker's sons. He's the audience's friend. I'm very pleased with my costume but of course the one to look out for is Nana Knickerbocker's — it's quite spectacular.

Wishy Washy wears very plain clothes at the start of the panto, but if Aladdin's fortunes change he could get something grander to wear at the end of the show — I couldn't possibly tell you! My first panto memory was with my local amateur dramatic society when I was seven and it was Aladdin.

I played a golden chicken and I had to come on stage and lay a golden egg. I'm not quite sure how that fitted into the storyline but it was my first experience of panto. I absolutely loved it and I've loved performing ever since. It's good, old-fashioned variety. It's got laughs, great songs, great costumes, audience participation. It's got everything — it's a real family treat.

I'm going to be in my home-town doing panto; I'll be in Chatham in Kent playing Jack in Jack And The Beanstalk — which is the same town I made my debut in as a chicken all those years ago! I'm really proud to be back home and my whole family is coming to watch me in panto. When I was a very small child I was given a box of 1, drinking straws by my aunty.
