Hello there, if you're reading this; first of all thanks for taking an interest in Page to Panto, secondly are you sure you're on the right website? Oh yes you are!

 

In this section you'll find out a bit about me, I'm Joe Meloy ('...the excellent pantomime dame...' British Theatre Guide) and I'm a Comedian, Pantomime Dame, Producer, Writer and Panto Enthusiast. I attended my first Pantomime when I was three and instantly fell in love with one of the most entertaining forms of theatre, in my humble opinion of course!

​

I have been performing in pantomime myself for a number of years having played Widow Twankey to an Ugly Sister, there have been one or two occasions where I haven't been in the dress, but I much prefer putting on my dresses, fake eyelashes and lip stick!

​

I performed my first professional Pantomime at twenty-three years old playing an Ugly Sister in an adult pantomime. I returned the next year to perform as Widow Twankey, from there I went on to play in family pantomimes as; Widow Twankey (twice more!) Dame Dolly Dollop, Nurse Nellie, King Arthur, Maid Joan, Mrs Smee and most recently as Donna (one half of Cinderella's Wicked Stepsisters) for the Hazlitt Theatre, where I have spent the past three years as Dame.
