The League of Gentlemen Are Behind You! was a pantomime-themed stage show by The League of Gentlemen. [1] It was their second major UK tour; it premiered in 2005. The whimsical, pantomime nature of the show was a departure from their trademark dark humour. Almost all the material performed was new and original.

A performance filmed at the Hammersmith Apollo, Hammersmith, was released on DVD Video.
