The Royal Vauxhall Tavern's smash hit, 2015 adult panto Charming Dick is coming to The Cockpit

Oh yes it is!

The RVT is famous for producing some of London's, if not the UK's, best adult pantos, with shows selling out consistently every year.

Charming Dick was the RVT's 9th adult panto and was directed by Tim McArthur (Fannie and Jack! Sissy that Stalk!), written by Paul Emelion (When Harry met Barry , Rise Like a Phoenix) and lovingly produced by the RVT.

And this year we're "re-erecting" Dick at the Cockpit!

With discounts for group bookings, CHARMING DICK is ideal for work Christmas outings.


"Charming Dick is a feel-good festive slice of romance, innuendo and twisted dark humour. A must see!" - QX Magazine

Cheer for Dick, entrepreneur and dreamer, coming to London to seek fame, fortune and the big time, but ends up working in a launderette with his Aunt Twankey - a has been cabaret and west end star (well, who isn't?).

Hiss and boo at the Wicked Witch, determined to get her evil hands on the launderette and turn out poor Twankey (silent 't') in order to obtain the famed lamp, which confers immense powers to transform gay clubs into gold (or just gives a very good light).

Sing-along with Babe, the Eurovision wannabe superstar, as she plans her nuptials to Prince Charming.

But will Charming marry her? Will Dick become the big bar promoter he wants to be? Will Twankey lose the launderette? How far is the wicked witch prepared to go to get her evil hands on the lamp? Will Charming and Dick ever build that snowman together? And why is Red Riding Hood in this panto?

Charming Dick is a rip-roaring adult panto filled with panto classics, hissing, booing and enough song and dance to make Eurovision look positively dull. Brought up to date for big, dirty kids aged 18 and over, and featuring some of our favourite drag artists. Book now!

Praise for Dick:

"a panto that totally enthralled an audience that were loving every minute of it. This is a show with a huge feel-good quality to it. Pure Pantomine perfection does not come much better than this" - Gayabouttown

"The physical comedy is superb and the innuendos have the crowd in fits as interactive cheering sees a room full of people shouting "we love Dick!" to the protagonist. I challenge even the most humourless of prudes to go along and not crack a smile" - The Weekender

"Out-rightly one of the dirtiest and funniest pantos to launch the season" - QX Magazine
