“We pride ourselves on being a professional outfit and will strive to be the best we can.
“The best kick I get is sitting in the audience and seeing peoples’ reactions.If they’re laughing, I’m laughing!”
And fan favourite Camela the camel will also be making a return. “Kids like it and it’s a bit of fun,” said Mrs Griffin.
