The 'Humpty Show Time' live show was at the Dubbo RSL on October 30 and featured some of its most iconic characters including Big Ted, Little Ted, Jemima, Fergus the Frog and Humpty Dumpty.

The programme has been running on television for more than fifty years and has upheld a constant and enormous fanbase, both running as a television show, and touring around for their live shows with Kids Promotions.

Playschool encourages preschool children to wonder, think, feel and imagine, with a range of different hosts.

Kids Promotions Operations Manager Samantha Kirby said holding the live show in rural towns, such as Dubbo, brings a much needed boost to drought-stricken communities.

"Especially now during such a difficult time as the Dubbo community faces the drought we believe it's important that we do something to help put a smile of some families faces," Ms Kirby said.

"We try and come out to rural areas twice a year, but we thought that with times being tough it probably wouldn't be the best time to come out to Dubbo to visit, but we were told that, actually, during the hardships of the drought, it may be the perfect time for us to visit."

This year will be Fergus the Frogs last year for a while as he goes into temporary retirement.

"Next year we will be introducing a few new characters. Unfortunately, Fergus the frog is going to be having a bit of a break for a while," Ms Kirby said.

"But he will be at the Dubbo show. So it will be a bit of a farewell for Fergus."
