Theatre issue woke trigger warning over fears jokes in Aladdin panto may be ‘overwhelming’ to snowflake audience members

A THEATRE has issued a trigger warning about its pantomime — oh, yes it has!

Thin-skinned punters are alerted to the fact they might find some of the jokes offensive.

It comes despite the production being deemed suitable for school parties and even children under five.

The Everyman Theatre, in Cheltenham, Gloucs, made the move ahead of its Christmas production of Aladdin.

It stars “Gloucestershire’s favourite dame, Kevin Brewis” as Widow Twankey.

The content warning states: “Panto is a lot of fun but sometimes it can be a little bit cheeky.”

"Panto can contain innuendo or may be overwhelming for more sensitive audience members.”

The theatre explained: “Including content warnings whenever possible on event descriptions is now standard practice across many theatre websites."

It added: “We also offer alternative programming specifically tailored for younger audiences or anyone who may find the full pantomime experience too much.

It said offering the advice “empowers guests to make their own decisions”.

"This is so that they can all enjoy the magic of Christmas together."
