Children across the UK are already fans of Dr Chris and Dr Xand from their hugely successful TV and live show Operation Ouch!. Now the identical twins have an adults-only show to share. For two performances only, the doctors will perform How To Find Love, Lose Weight & Live Forever… Without Really Trying! on Sunday 9 December 2018 and Sunday 6 January 2019 at the Apollo Theatre in London’s West End.
Pleasure and danger are intimately linked: whether your weakness is cake, drugs, TV box sets or base-jumping, modern life presents humans with a set of temptations and consequential harms we can all understand. Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken will examine how it’s possible to get the most out of ourselves without self-help taking over our lives and without getting distracted by fads and nonsense.
Chris and Xand are working doctors and scientists, who have a decade of making TV shows about health behind them. They will distillate live on stage the best of what they have learned from their experiences in the swamp forests of the Congo, Malaysian religious rituals, hallucinogens from the Amazon, naked swimming in the Arctic Ocean, work in refugee camps and war zones and everything in between.
The European premiere of How To Find Love, Lose Weight & Live Forever… Without Really Trying! is written by Chris and Xand van Tulleken and directed by Peter Adams.
