New Wimbledon Theatre is bringing the stars out once again this Christmas, with Austin Powers star Verne Troyer leading the celeb names in its pantomime.

Film star Troyer, famous for playing Mini Me in the spy comedy franchise, will be joined by comedian Marcus Brigstocke, Britain’s Got Talent street dance troupe Flawless and Kiwi comedian Jarred Christmas.

This year the show is Peter Pan, with Brigstocke playing Captain Hook and Christmas as Smee.

Troyer, who is making his panto debut, said: “I am so excited to be joining the world of British pantomime.

“The people of the UK always make me feel so welcome and what better way to spend Christmas than performing in a live show at a beautiful theatre in London.

“It’s a special time of year and I’ve heard such wonderful things about pantomime that I can’t wait to give it a go. I may be an American but I can guarantee a big performance.”

Peter Pan is at New Wimbledon Theatre from December 5 to January 10. Tickets cost from £10. Go to atgtickets.com/Wimbledon or call 0844 871 7646.
