"Andrew Pepper’s cabaret experience makes him a wonderfully arch dame." - Will Thomas, The Stage
"What is a panto without a dame? Happily Andrew Pepper as Robinson’s mum, Mrs Camilla Crusoe, is a corker. Blessed with dry humour and a terrific pair of lungs, she delivers jokes and songs like a grand vaudevillian, and is just immensely fabulous." - Gill Sutherland, Stratford Herald "A tour de force by Andrew Pepper as Mrs Camilla Crusoe." - Alison Boulton, Daily Info |

IN JUNE 2016, ANDREW PRESENTED HIS FIRST EVER SOLO SHOW CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEATRE. IT WAS A "THEATRE-CABARET HYBRID"; A BEAUTIFUL HYBRID; THE THEATRICAL EQUIVALENT OF A ZEBROID. OR A WHOLPHIN. OR MAYBE EVEN A GEEP. IT CAME TO LIFE AT THAT GLORIOUS JEWEL, THE THEATRE, CHIPPING NORTON AND WAS CALLED... 'THE ANDREW PEPPER REHABILITATION PROJECT'
HAVING BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST SHOW BUSINESS, ANDREW PEPPER HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO EXECUTE A SOLO SONG AND DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA... FOR ALL ETERNITY AND FOR AN EMPTY AUDITORIUM... UNTIL TONIGHT. WHAT WILL HE DO? THE SAME SHOW AS ALWAYS? OR WILL TONIGHT BE DIFFERENT? WILL TONIGHT BE THE SHOW TO END ALL SHOWS? DIRECTION BY HELEN BRADBURY CHOREOGRAPHY BY SALLY BROOKS MUSICAL DIRECTION BY HARRY SEVER |
IN CHRISTMAS 2015 ANDREW WENT TO THE THEATRE, CHIPPING NORTON AND HAD A RUDDY MARVELLOUS TIME PLAYING (FOR THE FIRST TIME) THE DAME IN PANTO. IT WAS A MARATHON. HE PERFORMED THE ROLE 33046* TIMES AND HE HAD A BALL.

HERE'S WHAT SOME LOVELY CRITICS SAID:
"Ah, the Dame! Astonishingly, it seems that this is Andrew Pepper’s first outing as Dame, and he is a joy...exuding warm flirtatious absurdity and effortless stage presence. He’s pure music-hall in his big numbers...few gentlemen can flick a pantaloon across the stage with more brio." - Libby Purves "The inevitable show-stealer is the dame: Andrew Pepper." - The Times "Andrew Pepper’s performance, like a beanstalk awaiting its Jack....is wholesomely hilarious...with Sarah Travis’s enjoyable songs...Pepper’s Dame proves something of a diva." - Reviews Gate "Connie Clatterbottom (versatile Andrew Pepper)...an outstanding presence in every scene...not just a superb Pantomime Dame: she possesses a poignant inner life. Pepper evokes all her moods with verve and sensitivity, and fabulous dancing feet." - Daily Info, Oxford |
