Nikky Smedley has spent her career trying to avoid what her parents called ‘a proper job’. This doesn’t mean she hasn’t worked hard. Running her own dance company for twenty years, she staged the UK’s first piece of vertical dance and, playing God, created and destroyed the world on quantum and geographic scales. After Teletubbies, she worked behind the scenes in children’s TV for a further decade and currently writes and performs stories for young children and grown-ups. Nikky is a highly sought-after conference speaker and still choreographs, though these days she jumps up and down less than she once did.
‘Puts us right inside those hellishly uncomfortable costumes,
without trashing the magic or betraying the children who gave
Laa-Laa their love.’
‘Charming, funny, insightful, beautifully written.’
My showbiz memoir of the year. A hit!
Top notch insight into the woman within the puppet.
Funny, poignant and heart-warming.
This book is the reminder I didn’t know I needed.
What a wonderful book! Beautifully written and Nikki’s sense of
humour shines through the pages.
