Ey Up Leeds! Jez Edwards is Back for 11th Carriageworks Panto
Carriageworks Theatre has announced that comedian Jez Edwards will return for his 11th season to star in their traditional family pantomime, Sleeping Beauty.
Jez has been a regular fixture in the Carriageworks Theatre’s annual panto for over a decade and continues to have audiences in stitches with his high energy slapstick comedy, off-the-cuff one-liners and his popular catchphrase, “Ey Up Leeds!” getting everyone into the panto spirit.
Leeds audiences have taken Jez firmly into their hearts and vice versa, with the comedian a proud Yorkshire resident. A passionate advocate of family entertainment, Jez has recently been writing and recording a series of audio stories about the adventures of best friends, Munchie, a caterpillar, and Boogle, a stick insect, with plans to launch the stories on their own YouTube Channel later this year.
Producer Paul Holman said: “We have been inundated; as we are every year; by audience members asking for Jez to come back and I am delighted to grant their wishes. Jez has a unique warmth and humour that Leeds audiences just love and he has become a very special part of people’s Christmas’.”
Carriageworks Theatre presents the only traditional pantomime in Leeds featuring sparkling costumes and scenery, spectacular special effects, plenty of audience interaction and bucket-loads of laughter for all the family to enjoy.
Sleeping Beauty runs at Carriageworks Theatre, Leeds, from Friday 22nd November 2019 to Saturday 4th Jan 2020. Tickets are on sale now and can be booked online at www.carriageworkstheatre.co.uk or via the Box Office on 0113 376 0318.
