00:00AJ and Curtis, tell me how rehearsals been going?

00:03Well, we're in full swing rehearsals right now.

00:05Full swing, look at me, I'm sweating.

00:08We're about 60% away through one of the numbers that we're doing together, so like full on dancing.

00:12Curtis gets to sing and dance, so for once he gets to properly sweat, which is going great.

00:17Jersey, what do you mean I don't normally sweat?

00:19No, you're only singing and dancing, it's extra energy.

00:23No, this is a good number to prepare, so it's just I haven't made it yet,

00:26Michael Bublé version, it's a high song, I ain't gonna lie,

00:29but there's a lot of dancing in it, it's a good one.

00:31But I've got to say, to be fair, rehearsals are going good,

00:34like we are getting quite far through the show quite fast.

00:37The cast is fantastic, all the other leads are incredible as well,

00:40so I can't wait to sort of fast forward a week,

00:43and then be on stage and actually do the first performance.

00:45Yeah, being on stage, getting that feeling.

00:47Like we're in a studio, you can only give so much,

00:50and it's like as soon as you're on stage, you're like okay,

00:52and then the audience is there, we're ready.

00:54Yeah, and the good thing is once you get the audience well,

00:56then the jokes settle in, you start to realise the actual timing

00:59of how things are going to react, how things are going to work,

01:02if they're going to work, or if they're not going to work.

01:05Hopefully they work.

01:06So tell me what it's like working together.

01:08Ah, it's good working together, we're brothers,

01:10we know each other inside out,

01:11and we have done things since little kids together,

01:14so we sort of just, we can vibe off each other in a very good way.

01:18Don't get me wrong, sometimes you just wanna.

01:21That is good, it makes it very easy, I think,

01:23like especially when you're on stage, you've got the live audience,

01:26you kind of know where you can give and take,

01:28so therefore it's kind of like, sometimes with different shows,

01:31you can get away with it.

01:32Kurt goes to get away with it more than I would,

01:33I kind of stick to script a bit more, but then again.

01:35That's panto.

01:36It is a panto, there's no fourth wall.

01:39So tell me how excited you are about performing the panto.

01:43I think the one thing that we're most excited about

01:45is actually doing the first panto I'm here at Ferryham live,

01:49because obviously new venue, new energy,

01:51and I think that's a real honour,

01:52and it's something that you can look at right down history.

01:55First panto, there we are.

01:56And we actually haven't been to the venue just yet,

01:58but I've heard great things about it,

01:59like extra legroom on all the seats,

02:01which for a tall person is amazing.

02:03You're gonna be on stage, hopefully, Kurt.

02:05You know, I may jump in the audience at one point,

02:07take a little seat, try it.

02:08Doesn't really matter for AJ,

02:10he's business class wherever he flies at that height, you know.

02:14And lots of jokes in the panto, I always can tell.

02:16Yeah, lots.

02:17Hello, and welcome to the backstage of panto.

02:22Yes, it's panto time again.

02:26We've got costumes, we've got scenery,

02:29and great actors, dancers, and juvenile ensemble.

02:36First panto in four years.

02:38So therefore, it's going to be a great show at Ferryham live.

02:44Get your tickets.
