The dressing room is a place of nerves, tension and marvellous wit and humour. It's a place of wind-ups, put-downs, last minute panics, misplaced props and costumes and most of all great camaradarie. Repartee is the currency of the dressing room and laughter the salve to sooth nerves.
The aim of this section is to gather together some of the best of the humour heard over the years in the dressing room and anyone with a story to tell should submit it to the editor via the 'Contact Us' page. No attempt at anonimity has been made as we are confident that not one of us minds laughing at ourselves. So here's a couple of tales to start us off.

Ken again ....... this time bragging about how all the female cast members kept asking him to show them his pollocks ........ that's right POLLOCKS .....................
