THE audience will be singing in their seats when CBeebies favourites Chris and Pui come to the Wyvern Theatre.

Chris Jarvis and Pui Fan Lee, from Show Me Show Me, will be performing in Swindon on April 19 as part of their roadshow.

The show will include songs, jokes and plenty of audience participation.

Pui, who formerly played Po in the Teletubbies, said: “We are coming back to Swindon with a different show.

“We have more songs, jokes, lots of messing around, lots of dressing up, and lots of audience participation.

“There are lots of old-fashioned nursery rhymes and old-fashioned songs done in the Chris and Pui way.

“We don’t make people sing but they tend to join in.

“It’s great because the whole theatre is filled with people singing.

“A lot of people lose their inhibitions and you can tell they are really enjoying it.”

Pui said each performance is special to her and Chris.

“For a high percentage of our audience it will be their first visit to the theatre in their lives.

“I like to think our show is accessible to all. It’s a very family orientated, old fashioned show but it’s not a dinosaur of a show,” she said.

“It’s like going to a good old knees up – there are no special effects or strobes. I think that is why it works.”
