Robin Mitchell as Various Characters
When the actor originally cast for the role of Cookie Crumble fell ill with just days to go before the 2016 show opened, the Princess's creator (and show producer) Robin Mitchell gamely stepped in. He already knew the script quite well (as he wrote it) and is no stranger to public performance, so he was a natural fit! Robin so enjoyed appearing in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 shows, he's back at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe playing various roles in Princess Pumpalot: The Ghostly Farting Monk Hunt.
