PETER PAN:

THE BIGGEST PANTOMIME WORTHING HAS EVER SEEN!
This year sees an all-star cast lined up to star in Peter Pan at Worthing Theatre. Richard ‘Dick’
McCourt, known to millions as one half of legendary kids’ comedy duo, Dick & Dom, will be
joined by pop star, Amelia Lily; top telly comic, Patrick Monahan; and X Factor star, Lloyd Daniels
in Worthing’s biggest ever production of The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan this Christmas.

With more than twenty years of entertaining
the nation under his belt, family favourite
funnyman, Richard is prepped to pack Peter
Pan with plenty of pedigree panto comedy, as
the hilarious pirate, Smee!
He first burst onto our screens with comedy
partner in crime, Dominic ‘Dom’ Wood in 1996,
where the pair brought afterschool mayhem
and madness to kids’ TV diets. As they took
their first steps into the wild and wacky world
of children’s telly, the duo would’ve had little
idea that they’d carve out a lasting, awardwinning TV career that would see them
celebrate twenty years on the showbiz circuit
this year.

After cutting their comedy teeth in the 90s on
kid’s telly, the boys went on to front their own
live weekend entertainment show on BBC1 in
2002 to much critical acclaim. Dick & Dom in
da Bungalow became a double Bafta-awardwinning sensation for the BBC, running for five
seasons, and firmly confirming the duo’s status
as one of the most memorable and entertaining
acts in showbusiness.
Joining Richard in this swashbuckling
tale is pop singer, X Factor finalist, and
star of the stage, Amelia Lily, who will be
putting her powerhouse vocals to use as
she joins an all-star cast production as
the feisty, fun- loving Tiger Lily. Tickets at
