5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great book! Oh no it isn't! Oh yes it is!!, 20 Feb 2002
By C. Greenhead "supergirly" (Herne Bay, (Nr. Canterbury), Kent, U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Do you write pantos, or are you just the sort of person who can't wait for 'that time of the year' to come around again? If either of these are you then a)are you male and single (only joking)! and b) you must buy this book. Paul Harris is a local radio presenter for the BBC in Kent and is also one of the U.K.'s top panto dames and has written and produced various pantos over the years. (If the name sounds familiar, you night also have heard of him through 'Titter Not').
This book is a comprehensive guide to panto's history, development and gags. It also contains countless routines which regular panto-goers will recognise and which will be invaluable if writing pantos is 'your bag'. If you're passionate enough about panto to buy this book, I'm sure you wont regret it! As for your days of panto history ignorance, 'they're behind you!!'

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC - OH YES IT IS!, 5 Nov 2003
By paul brammer (STOKE ON TRENT) - See all my reviews
THIS WONDERFUL BOOK IS INVALUABLE TO ALL PANTOMIME COMPANIES - ESPECIALLY IF YOU WRITE YOUR OWN SCRIPTS AS WE DO.

EVERY ROUTINE IS A GEM AND OFF THE MANY THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE, THEY HAVE GONE DOWN A STORM

BUY IT NOW - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

2.0 out of 5 stars A valiant attempt, but a contradiction in terms., 7 Jan 2006
By Mr. J. A. Edwards "josephaedwards" (nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As soon as I read the first few sections of this book, I realised that what the author is trying to do, record pantomime humour in a book, is actually impossible. The routines offered lie dead on the page, not even raising a snigger as you read them. I know that this is not how the gags are supposed to be appreciated, but the thing that actually makes them funny is ENTIRELY LOST in the process of writing them down, the skill of Pantomime being in improvisation, and slapstick acting - the scenes and gags that the author describes are not especially clever or worth including in a pantomime that you might be writing. More worthwhile would have been a book on the art of pantomime acting, or on slapstick acting. If you are putting on a pantomime then no book, and especially not this one, is going to make you funny. The people acting the pantomime need to be the people deciding on how they are going to make people laugh. If you want to learn how to act traditional pantomime gags and routines, then pull your finger out and go and see as many pantomimes as possible. I can see few people who would really benefit from owning this book.
