Google The Backdoor PlayersAbout the show
Jack Off the Beanstalk is an adult pantomime from The Backdoor Players, turning the classic fairy tale on its head with rude humour and chaos. Jack trades his cow for magic beans and stumbles into a world of sexually frustrated giants, dodgy boy bands and celebrity geese. Expect a Dame who has been well and truly milked, a cast of questionable character and non-stop panto mayhem — just louder, dirtier and with a guaranteed happy ending. Strictly for grown-ups.
Why see this show?
If you fancy a panto that leaves the wholesome stuff at the door, this is your show. The Backdoor Players deliver gleefully filthy jokes, broad characters and the kind of shameless silliness that makes Edinburgh Fringe worth attending.
