He is very excited to be fooling around again with his favourite ensemble!

He's A Firm Favourite!

MATT FINEGAN is Foxy McFiddleton

We're delighted to welcome back an absolute Corn Exchange favouite!  Matt has played such a wide range of characters for us.  He was Genie in 'Aladdin', the Beast in 'Beauty & the Beast', one of Cinderella's fairies for us and an unforgettable Captain Hook in 'Peter Pan'.

When not making Christmas brilliant for us, Matt is a cabaret performer in Spain, enjoying amazing weather and the party atmosphere!

He's a Legend!

We are thrilled to welcome Ian to the cast of PINOCCHIO.  As a regular with Jonathan Ross' house band 'Four Poofs and a Piano' on TV for ten years, Ian has a huge cult following!  He is also one of the UK's most popular dames and we are thrilled he will be playing the scrumptious Dame Jelly in our show!

He's One of the Family!
