While we haven't even gotten through summer, or made it to Halloween just yet, some of us are looking to Christmas already.
Hackney Empire, one of London's Christmas panto faves, has released a preview for this year's festive show.
It is silly and funny, which are exactly what pantos are all about.
This year the theatre is putting on Mother Goose, a rags-to riches tale featuring Olivier award winning actor and one of panto's great dames Clive Rowe, who will grace the Hackney Empire in a ridiculous outfit for his 15th panto season.
The panto also features Pricilla the Goose who shares her struggle of wanting to fit in on the mean streets of Hackney before potentially finding her people on the stage of Hackney Empire on the preview video.
Mother Goose is the 23rd panto for the theatre and runs from November 19 to December 31.
