Fair City's Mondo to star in this year's Tullamore panto

George McMahon , who plays Mondo in Fair City, will be playing the role of the Prince in this year's Tullamore panto, Sleeping Beauty.

Colin Hughes, the producer and director of the panto, said he is delighted to have George on board this year.

"Myself and George treaded the panto boards for many years in Dublin and I'm thrilled to be bringing him to Tullamore this year for Sleeping Beauty."

George joins the Tullamore panto cast including favourites from last year - Colin Hughes, John Conroy and Aoife Fitzsimons.

The panto runs in Esker Arts Centre in Tullamore from November 30 to December 15. Tickets go on sale this coming Tuesday, October 15 at 10am from the Esker Arts website.

Demand was very high for tickets last year with all the shows selling out in a matter of hours so early booking is strongly recommended.
