HEATED rows, poo, swearing, blood, sweat, tears and giant rabbits... Life on the set of Teletubbies might not have been quite as you imagined.

Confessions of a Teletubby is a one-woman show offering “revelations, secrets and oodles of behind-the-scenes gossip from a global television phenomenon”.

Nikky Smedley, medley is an award-winning creator and performer on stage and screen, played LaaLaa (the yellow one) in the original series of children’s TV favourite Teletubbies for six years - that’s a lot of custard for a grown woman to get excited about. In her show, Nicky reveals how she got the job - by dressing as a bistro table, what it was really like inside one of those Tubby suits; how the NooNoo really worked, and why children loved the show so much.

Loosely based on Nikky’s best-selling book Over the Hills and Far Away - My Life as a Teletubby, the show offers the chance to see the real, original LaaLaa live in person, revealing stories about the show kept under wraps for almost 30 years. Expect “frank, hilarious and sometimes tragic stories of the human experience within a truly surreal world”. Ask Nikky anything you’ve always wanted to know about Teletubbies - and maybe get a selfie too.
