Panto's all about tradition and the worse jokes are, the better. To celebrate the start of the season, we've rounded up some of this year's top jokes from some of the county's pantos (without any plot show spoilers). Get ready to groan!

CENTRAL THEATRE, CHATHAM

Dick Whittington and his cat stars Ray Quinn, Joe Tracini and Ian Good as Sarah the Cook.

1. Sarah the Cook is single and looking for love – but it wasn’t always so. Her first husband died - he drowned in a large jar of coffee – an unusual death but at least it was instant!

2. Sarah the Cook has been trying to lose weight and is doing rather well – she lost 300 calories yesterday … a seagull stole her Mars bar.

3. Why is the sea so angry? You’d be angry too if you had crabs all over your bottom.

The show runs from Friday, December 7 to New Year's Eve. Book tickets at medwayticketslive.co.uk or call 01634 338338.

EM FORSTER THEATRE, TONBRIDGE

These are some of the animals that Dame Trott has on her farm:

1. There’s Penelope the pony who has a sore throat. Well, she’s a little hoarse.

2. She’s currently dating Denis the donkey - it’s a stable relationship.

3. And there’s a duck who keeps stealing wallets out of pockets - he’s a Robber Ducky.

It’s alright though because the cat ate him... so now the cat is a Duck-Filled-Fatty-Puss.
