Pulled comes from the creative team behind last year’s smash hit, Growled, as well as the Offie-winning Tossed. Previous panto productions include Wolfed, Cracked, Pricked, Slipped, Rubbed, and Goosed. We see a title theme here, Tiddlywinks.
This year’s RVT panto explores the ultimate magical legend: the tale of Arthur and the Sword in the Stone.
Pulled is produced by The Royal Vauxhall Tavern. The show is written by Paul Joseph (PopHorror) and Tim Benzie (Solve Along A Murder She Wrote. The show is directed by panto legend Tim McArthur, with musical direction by Annemarie Lewis Thomas. Pulled showcases the chaos that ensues when the handsome yet inept Arthur pulls out his magic sword.
Expect everything you want in a panto. There’s a hero to cheer for, a hilarious dame, a sensational villain to boo and hiss at. Plus lots of hit songs, more jokes per minute than any other panto, and, of course, a gigantic magical… stone.
This legendary story comes to life with a stunning cast, including Ada Campe. Ada won the UK Panto Award for Best Supporting Actor for last year’s RVT panto. The 2026 panto cast includes Patrick Eamon Cook as Arthur, Hannah Elizabeth Clark as Gwen, Ada Campe as Merlin, Jo Wickham as Mordregana, Robert McNeilly as Ma Mim, and Katherine Leyva as Villager Number One.
The RVT panto is a highlight of the year at London’s historically important LGBTQ+ cabaret and performance venue. In recent years, the panto has achieved unprecedented success, with most shows selling out and additional dates being added.
