Oh yes he is!
Harrogate Theatre has confirmed that legendary panto star Tim Stedman will return for a 25th year.
The Theatre will be hosting Jack and the Beanstalk from Wednesday 26th November 2025 until Sunday 18th January 2026.
And Tim will be playing the role of 'Silly Simon.'
Harrogate Theatre's annual pantomime is always a hit with local families and Jack and the Beanstalk follows a successful run of Beauty and the Beast.
In a preview for the show, Harrogate Theatre wrote:
"Times are hard for Dame Trott. She has no money, and her only child Jack isn’t much help either.
"When Dame Trott decides to sell their precious cow Buttercup at market, they are tricked into exchanging her for just a handful of beans – and that’s when the magic really begins!
"Join Jack on an epic adventure, which involves climbing a huge beanstalk to an enchanted land and protecting everyone from the ‘Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum’ of a very hungry giant!"
The rest of the cast is yet to be confirmed.
