Overview

A quest to find the most important fart in history!

TV’s favourite doctors return to Australia this January with a gigantic brand-new show!

Following four sell-out Australian tours and two smash hit seasons in London’s West End, Dr Chris and Dr Xand are back with the epic Quest for the Jurassic Fart! Join the twins on a dino-mite adventure to unearth the most dangerous, most powerful, most important fart in history – the Jurassic Fart!!

This roarsome show will be packed with all-new crazy experiments that will take you back to the age of the dinosaurs as the doctors explore the fascinating world of science like never before. It’ll make you laugh-a-saurus and gross you out all at the same time!

Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken are Oxford University trained doctors and still work in medicine. Dr Chris is an infectious diseases doctor at UCLH, one of the BBC’s leading science presenters and a New York Times bestselling author. Dr Xand’s main interest and expertise lie in Public Health Medicine, Humanitarian Aid and Anthropology. Dr Xand is the resident doctor on BBC’s Morning Live, and presented on many flagship health and science programs.

As well as 12 seasons of Operation Ouch!, Chris and Xand have presented an incredible variety of television specials and podcasts.

OPERATION OUCH LIVE is written by Chris and Xand van Tulleken
