DAMES
oh yes it is...
IN PANTO
"The Dame is one of the TRUE traditions
of UK Theatre!"
A pantomime dame is a traditional role in British pantomime. It is part of the theatrical tradition of travesti portrayal of female characters by male actors in drag. Dame characters are often played either in an extremely camp style, or else by men acting butch in women's clothing. The dame has been the highlight for many pantomime audience's over the years and the role has been taken on by many famous and talented faces. Have a look below at some of dames over the years.

LINEHAN, JOHN (May McFettridge)
​
John Joseph Linehan, MBE (born 1952, Belfast, Northern Ireland) - A Northern Irish entertainer, most known for his drag queen character May McFettridge. Linehan has, in character, been a long-running feature on local radio and television, as well as a regular pantomime dame. John Linehan was a car mechanic before he rose to fame in the guise of his plain-speaking, gap-toothed housewife character, May McFettridge. Eamonn Holmes, a relative, had asked Linehan to phone his then radio show, to liven the programme up. Linehan pretended to be a Belfast housewife, and the banter between the two attracted an unprecedented number of positive phone calls to the radio studio, many asking for a return of the women as a regular on the show.
