With all the colours of the rainbow, Johnny McKnight’s Gallus in Weegieland dives headfirst into a twisted Wonderland. The Tron’s annual pantomime jaunt comes fully loaded: queer energy, gallus gags by the bucket, and a looking glass reflecting the absurdities of our own lives. Down here, we’re not all ‘mad’, but encouraged to embrace eccentricities and spread your wings; whatever the shade. Sally Reid’s direction ensures Marc Mackinnon’s Honey The Caterpillar gets the stardom they deserve, vocally and comedically showcasing their skills. Meanwhile, Catriona Faint’s jittering livewire Hatty keeps the show’s pacing and narrative (yes, there is one) firmly on track.

Shadowed by tart-wielding minions Jessica Donnelly and Aidan MacColl (both brilliant), the only diva capable of matching Honey’s flair is McKnight’s long-time panto ally, Louise McCarthy. And if you thought you’d seen limbs before, Queenie’s royal pins are flung wherever the choreography demands, with glorious abandon, ensuring a maintenance of high energy to keep those hopped up on sweeties engaged.

Rolling heads (with killer expressions), McCarthy’s crimson-splashed Queenie Of Hearts rules this Weegieland, a glitter-soaked world where Burberry reigns supreme and chips ‘n’ curry sauce is the staple diet. Her golden rule? Once you leave Weegieland, you’re barred: nae coming back. Star Penders’ Knavey shrugs it off, but Gallus gradually longs of returning to Glasgow’s West End, overpriced Matcha and Waitrose in tow.

Making a professional debut, Jorgey Scott-Learmonth impresses as Gallus, balancing wishy-washy sincerity with punchy delivery and a hearty tune to match the score. Gallus In Weegieland doesn’t quite go for the jugular like past Tron pantos, but it certainly engages the head and warms the heart. A passionate party panto, it casts out the bitter cold with sequins, satire and a right royal laugh.

Gallus in Weegieland, Tron Theatre, Glasgow, until Sunday 4 January.
