Jamie trained as an Actor at Staffordshire University, graduating with a First Class Honours degree in Musical Theatre - proving that jazz hands can be academic!
Since then, he has gone onto become a keen Writer and Director with his scripts being performed to great acclaim across the country. Jamie is also an accomplished Costume Designer with a keen eye for detail and a passion for extravagance. He meticulously designs and handmakes each costume, ensuring they are as vibrant, glamourous and whimsical as his onstage persona.
Jamie is no stranger to P*ssed Up Panto, as this will be his 4th year touring with the production. It’s not so much he’s any good… its more the fact he’s cheap and available.
