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.
