The Grand Pavilion’s panto cow Dave has been shortlisted as one of the five best panto cows across the UK in Ben and Jerry’s competition to find the nation’s favourite! He has also beaten off fierce competition to be the only panto cow from Wales.
Dave, who is due to play Daisy the cow in Jack and the Beanstalk  - this year’s Christmas pantomime at the Grand Pavilion Theatre, Porthcawl, is no ordinary cow as he is bright blue with pink spots.
Dave said: “I am over the mooooon that I have made it to the final five panto cows. Panto is my life but I am hoping that if I win I might be able to make it in the moooovie business!”
