Brad Fitt's hilarious script is up against James Barry for Dick Whittington at Theatre Royal Winchester, Lyndsay Maples for Cinderella at Courtyard, Hereford, Richard Gauntlett for Cinderella at Norwich Theatre Royal, and Samuel Holmes, also for Cinderella, at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham.

Now in their fourth year, The Great British Pantomime Awards are the industry recognised awards for celebrating the best of this British theatrical institution.

Commenting on the nomination, Councillor Terry Mitchinson, the Welwyn Hatfield Council's executive member for leisure, culture and communications, said: "It's a real honour to be shortlisted for these awards.

"The talented Campus West panto team has been delighting audiences over the years with their hilarious blend of hit songs and silliness.
