Wildlife cameraman and presenter Hamza Yassin brings his first nationwide theatre tour, mixing behind-the-scenes tales from his filming expeditions with nature footage.
Hamza Yassin brings his live show My Life Behind the Lens to The Great Hall on Sunday 17 January 2027, at 2:00 PM. It's his first nationwide theatre tour, and this is the Exeter stop on that run.
If you don't recognise the name, you've almost certainly seen his work. Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and presenter, best known as the face of the CBeebies live-action shows Let's Go For A Walk and Eco Quest. He also presents on the BBC's Countryfile and Animal Park, and has worked on BBC nature documentaries — including filming golden eagles for David Attenborough's Wild Isles. The show mixes behind-the-scenes tales from his filming expeditions around the globe with breathtaking footage and personal stories, so it's as much about the process of making those films as it is about the animals themselves.
He's a sought-after speaker at schools and universities, and the critics have been generous: The Telegraph called him "the new voice of the natural world", and Marian Keyes described him as "delight and joy personified".
