Adult Panto ‘Jack Off the Beanstalk’ set for Torbay show

Cheeky, award-winning Happy Ending Pantomimes bring risqué laughs to Paignton Palace Theatre next month

Adult Panto ‘Jack Off the Beanstalk’ set for Torbay show

The award-winning Happy Ending Pantomimes are returning to the stage with their latest adult production, “Jack Off the Beanstalk,” coming to Paignton Palace Theatre on Sunday 8 February 2026.

Described as the naughtiest take on Jack and the Beanstalk ever, the show follows Dame Trott’s farm as it falls into chaos. Hero Jack heads off to the cattle market to save the day, only to find himself caught up in a series of ridiculous and outrageous adventures involving magical beans, a towering beanstalk, and plenty of hilarious twists.

Known for their risqué humour and audience participation, Happy Ending Pantomimes have built a reputation for bold, laugh-out-loud performances that are strictly for adults. The company’s previous shows include Tinderella and Sleeping with Beauty.

Producers warn that this is a 16+ show, and it’s designed for those who enjoy a grown-up, cheeky sense of humour. Tickets are expected to sell quickly, as past productions have often sold out.

Audiences can expect “filthy innuendos, outrageous routines, and plenty of comedy chaos,” according to the company, promising an unforgettable evening of adult pantomime fun.

Tickets are available through the Paignton Palace Theatre box office and the Happy Ending Pantomimes website.
