If Oscars were given for corny scripts, this adult pantomime would be next year's winner.

Seldom have so many sexual innuendos been packed into such a short space of time.

There are jokes about sex, positions, personalities living in Brighton and Hove, and problems the city faces.

Pussy in Boots is crude, at times shocking and so corny you could make flakes from the script.

It is the central part of the Christmas at The Old Market event, which includes a meal, mulled wine and, to round it off, a disco by David Van Day, the former Dollar star and burger stall boss.

From start to finish the pantomime is a groan a minute as the gags from the script written by Peter Mantle come thick and fast in a show with colourful costumes.

With the lovely Zara Plessard as the Pussy who gets the cream of the jokes, to the brazen Carol Kentish as the Fairy and Kate Elizabeth as the not so virginal princess, there is a lot of female glamour in the show.

Christmas at the Old Market is on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday (already sold out) and December 18.
