OPERATION OUCH! Live on Stage With Dr Chris and Dr Xand.
Based on the hit CBBC children’s television series, Operation Ouch! is performing for the first time in the UK in December 2018. Don’t miss Dr Chris and Dr Xand up close and personal, live on stage!
Packed with incredible stunts, crazy experiments and amazing facts, the doctors will explore the fascinating world of biology and show you the awesome things your body can do! Plus they’ll share their favourite bits from the TV show.
What does it look like inside of Dr Xand’s head? How can germs be good for you? What can you do with a month’s worth of farts? How does sneezing work? What exactly happens to the food you eat? How can bugs be good for you? All these questions and more will be answered when TV’s favourite identical twins take to the stage - all in the name of medical science.

Our two grand daughters really enjoyed the wonderful show put on by Xand and Chris. They were so entertaining and the girls were really engaged the whole time. Their ages are 10 and 6. A good show, and really "disgusting". x

I enjoyed the show, but the purpose of booking was for my 9 year old Grandson. I think he would of liked more "gross" stuff and less chat.

My 9 year old said "it was better than I hoped for!" As funny and entertaining as the TV show.

I took my five-year-old granddaughter who although probably one of the youngest there did find a lot of the content amusing and was very intrigued by it all. I thought the content was very well presented, with some very positive messages for young (and adult) people. Would definitely go again and will take the 9 and 11-year-old grandsons, who I think would be the most age appreciative. I hope there are further live versions of this television show.

It was incredibly funny and fun and It taught me a lot about how the body works. I also think the message that they were trying to send was very thoughtful. I loved interacting with the show and luckily I didn’t get wobble fever. It was all round great.

I bought the tickets for my daughter's Christmas present and thought I'd treat her to a small piece of merchandise as a souvenir. Sadly only a £30 hoodie or £15 t shirt on sale - ouch indeed! Chris and Xand were fantastic as always but not as many science experiments on stage as I had hoped and the show was a lot shorter than I realised. My daughter loved it so all good.

I really enjoyed it, it was fun and informative and made us all laugh. Dr Chris and Dr Xand were hilarious and my favourite part was the singing which has been stuck in my head ever since! I learned lots and had a fabulous time, I would definitely highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going. Use your frontal lobe...! 🎤🎼

It was very entertaining with things for all personalities and the children loved the fact they could get involved. The facts were said in a way to interest all ages and interests.
