THREE MUSKETEERS? ... someone can't count!

When Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers in 1844, he knew perfectly well there were FOUR principal heroes.
The story goes that he liked the absurdity of calling it The Three Musketeers when there were clearly four of them - he felt it would guarantee success. What a guy!
Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan. Four heroes. Three Musketeers.
Sounds like the sort of maths that perfectly fits with a TOADS panto - we approve!
Come and see what we've done with this classic adventure at Christy Hall, 1–5 December.
Just £12, no booking fee!

EN GARDE - WE'RE OFF AGAIN!
Oh yes we are, because it's panto time and tickets have just gone on sale! 🎭
This December, we're swapping our usual mischief for muskets, mayhem and some very questionable French accents!
THE THREE MUSKETEERS is coming to Christy Hall, bringing all the usual TOADS fun – dastardly villains, outrageous characters, the best terrible jokes, songs, slapstick and plenty of opportunities for you to shout at the stage.
ALL FOR FUN AND FUN FOR ALL!
Round up the family, rally your friends and book your seats.
You know what we're like – and you know you don't want to miss it!

Tonight's the night. It's not too late to grab a ticket, and if you're coming tonight - SEE YOU THERE. We hope you have as much fun watching as we have had putting the show together. 40 years of material! It's a lot to work through but we've picked some absolute gems.

12/05/2026

A Tuesday Teaser - here are a few glimpses into the fun and variety of sketches and songs that TOADS is performing from tomorrow (13th) until Friday 15th. Can you spot Man Cold ( based on a Lemsip ad), Crossword ( based on a Two Ronnies sketch) and Four Yorkshiremen - made famous by The Pythons but written by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Marty Feldman, Graham Chapman and John Cleese a few years before. TOADS present over a dozen gems from the past 40 years, with cast members from way back when returning to reprise their roles and current members keen to see another 40 years of shows. If you haven't got a ticket yet, hurray up because Thursday is SOLD OUT, but a few tickets are available on Wednesday and Friday. Ticket link in first comment.
