CBBC carnage creators from the turn of the millennium, Dick and Dom, are back with a live version of their puzzlingly popular show, In Da Bungalow and it's coming to Cardiff this autumn. To celebrate 20 years since the cult hit was introduced to kids who started shouting "bogies" at every opportunity, the pair - TV presenters Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood - are going on tour, and they will be at Cardiff's New Theatre on Sunday, September 25.
The live show promises to bring back the spirit of Da Bungalow with their family-friendly anarchic style and content as it was in the original series. This interactive experience will include all your favourite games, including two-word tango, musical splatues, the grunty song, fairly hairy fizzogs, pants dance, what a sweaty flap and, of course, bogies. And for their finale expect to watch participants being splattered in their legendary Creamy Muck Muck game. There will be appearances from Diddy, Dick and Dom, and D.I Harry Batt with his interrogation game as well as giving audience members the chance to win part of, some of, or almost all the price of their ticket.

Dick and Dom said: "20 years?! 20 years since those lift doors slid open and we welcomed you to Da Bungalow! It’s going to blow your mind as we take you on a nostalgia fuelled trip to relive the best show ever to be on your telly! The most asked question we get is, ‘When are you going to bring Da Bungalow Back’. Well... it’s BACK! See you there. P.S BOOOOGIES!”
Starting in August 2002 Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow moved from CBBC to Saturday mornings on BBC One - then still a coveted slot for kids' TV and over four years, five series and numerous awards and accolades Dick and Dom became household names. Despite being asked to continue for another two series the team made the decision to end the series on a high in 2006.
After 25 years together Dick and Dom’s success is still as relevant today as it was back in Da Bungalow. In 2017, they completed a nationwide smash theatre tour, followed in 2018 by a sell-out season in one of the largest venues at the Edinburgh Festival, winning them an award for Best Family Show. Audiences of families and those old enough to remember the original still flock to see them proving the Bungalow’s heritage still lives on and continues to ignite the millennial generation.
Tickets for the September 25 show are on sale now and you can buy them, here.
