Harrogate Theatre has announced that actor Michael Lambourne will return to the stage for this year's festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Lambourne will take on the roles of Fleshcreep and King Bumble in the production, which will run from Wednesday 26th November to Sunday 18th January 2026.
The actor is a familiar face to Harrogate audiences, having starred as Baron Bon Bon in last year’s production of Beauty and the Beast.
He also played Abbanazar in Aladdin in 2022 and King Rat in Dick Whittington in 2023.

Lambourne is the third confirmed cast member for this year’s production after Tim Steadman and Harry Wyatt.
