Confessions of a Teletubby

Fresh from sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Confessions of a Teletubby lifts the lid on what went on behind the scenes of one of the most globally successful TV shows ever. This vibrant and candid show reveals the absurdities and challenges faced by its cast, showcasing a mix of humor and heart for audiences young and old.

Nikky Smedley played LaaLaa (the yellow one) in the original series of Teletubbies for six years - that’s a lot of custard for a grown woman to get excited about. Come and hear how she got the job by dressing as a bistro table; what it was really like inside one of those (surprisingly large) Tubby suits; how the NooNoo really worked and why children loved the show so much.

Reviews

"A hilarious behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Teletubbies that yanks at the heartstrings!" - The Stage
