SUMMARY:Michaela Strachan: Not Just A Wild Life
DESCRIPTION:You’ve seen her cuddling orangutans\, being “Wide Awake” on Saturday mornings and almost skating to glory on Dancing on Ice. Now\, wildlife TV legend Michaela Strachan swaps the binoculars for the spotlight in her brand-new live theatre show Not Just A Wild Life. \nMarking 40 years in the public eye – on our screens\, in the wild and sometimes out of her depth. From The Wide Awake Club\, The Hitman And Her and The Really Wild Show to Countryfile\, Springwatch and beyond\, the show laughs at the chaos of TV\, celebrates the beauty of nature and reflects on what it means to grow up – and grow older – on screen. \nIt’s a high energy\, funny and heart-warming journey through four decades of conservation and re-invention. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be upstaged by an elephant\, wrangle the likes of Chris Packham\, or ice skate on National TV looking like Julie Andrews\, then this show is for you! Not Just A Wild Life promises an evening of inspiration\, nostalgia and genuine connection – for nature nerds\, nostalgia lovers\, and anyone who’s ever wondered how a rubber chicken can change the course of your life.
