Reporter Lucy Leeson ventured behind the scenes earlier today and caught up with brothers Barry and Paul.
Barry said: "There will be lots and lots of laughs for the audience this year.
"That's what we always go for in pantomime.
"The setting and scenery is also beautiful and we can't wait to start performing."
The brothers, who play the court jesters, are regular visitors to Hull.
Paul said: "It's great to be back in Hull.
"We really enjoy coming back here because the audience are always great."
