Targeting areas with high unemployment, unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and high student populations, our Game Show With A Difference, puts across a serious educational message in a fun way.

Using the established format of GeeStor Productions’ A Wha Me A Go Win game show*, this is an interactive stage Game Show. From an estimated audience of up to 2,000 people, we invite eight people at random, onto the stage while they, and we, explain important facts and consequences relating to contraception, sexual health, smoking, drugs and sex and men’s health.

We use the innocence of certain situations and turn them into learning opportunities for people of any age, race, ability, religion or sexual orientation.

Using Robbie Gee and Eddie Nestor’s blend of ad-lib humour and Helen’s experience as a sexual health educator, this show delivers sexual health education in a hard hitting, straight talking, memorable way.


Background information: Helen, Robbie and Eddie have worked together for many years on stage and in schools to deliver sexual health education.

  • This show will raise awareness of contraception, sexual and reproductive health issues to up to 2000 people per show, using comedy and traditional teaching
  • This show will target young people, their parents and other adults and encourage family participation
  • Back to Top

Why are we doing this?

We are doing this because:

  • The World population of 6,000,000,000 in 2002 is estimated to grow to 9,000,000,000 by 2050. This is equivalent to 500 jumbo jets full of babies landing at Heathrow, each day
  • Genital herpes infects 21 million people a year, and syphilis 19 million
  • More than 9 million people are infected with chancroid each year
  • A staggering total– 538,000,000 cases of Sexually Transmitted Infections are recorded each year – ie. over 1,000,000 curable cases of sexually transmitted infection being caught every single day. Ref: WHO
  • Globally, some 236 million people are estimated to have trichomoniasis, with 94 million new cases a year
  • Chlamydia infections affect some 162 million people, with 97 million new cases annually
  • An estimated 32 million new cases of genital warts occur each year, and there are some 78 million new cases of gonorrhoea
  • In South Africa mortality rates are expected to drop to 40 years of age by 2010
    according to the SA insurance industry
  • In the UK, the cost for patients requiring a liver transplant for Hepatitis C associated liver cirrhosis – with patient surviving 5 years post transplant is £2.8 million
  • The average lifetime treatment cost for an HIV positive individual is calculated to be between £135,000 and £181,000, and the monetary value of preventing a single onward transmission is estimated to be somewhere between £1/2 and £1 million in terms of individual health benefits and treatment costs
  • The prevention of unplanned pregnancy by NHS contraceptive services probably saves the NHS over £2.5 billion a year already

  • Our preferred London venues are those which can seat up to 2,000 people per show.
