We hope everyone is safe and staying at home.

At this extraordinary time, it's good see both friends and foes putting aside their differences and coming together for the good of the Kingdom. All the residents of Wiffyville are certainly adhering to the new Royal Rules.

One Million Farts

Julie is Princess Pumpalot

Well, we’ve reached 1 million views on YouTube of Princess Pumpalot farting. We apologise for the smell.

We posted an eight second video on YouTube in April 2017 of Princess Pumpalot (Julie Heatherill) farting Guffy (David Mairs) off the stage during one of our Edinburgh Festival Fringe performances at the Le Monde Hotel in George Street.

Here is the link. Princess Pumpalot demonstrates her amazing farting skills.

It just shows, farting is a worldwide phenomenon.

This continues to be an odd one.

We posted an eight second video on YouTube in April 2017 of Princess Pumpalot (Julie Heatherill) farting Guffy (David Mairs) off the stage during one of our Edinburgh Festival Fringe performances and this video has been viewed more than 750 000 times.

Can we reach 1 million views. At this rate, the answer is most likely... YES.

It just shows... farting crosses all borders and is universal.

When Hollywood Meets Wiffyville

This is L. A. based actress Hilary Barraford (Go For Sisters, The Ice Cream Truck, Hot Dog). We last saw her in Wiffyville in 2013 until now that is. It was great to get another photo of her, this time  with book 2 – Princess Pumpalot: The Super-Farting Bean Mystery and compare and contrast with the original photo 7 years earlier. What can we say? Hilary hasn't changed a bit and is still a good farter!

Farty New Year!

Merry Christmas from Wiffyville!

A Farty Thanks

Submitted by Princess Pumpalot on Sunday, 15th September 2019

Well, that was a blast. We'd like to thank everyone who attended Princess Pumpalot: The Ghostly Farting Monk Hunt at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It was the first year of our new show (the 7th year at the Fringe in total) and we introduced two new characters to Wiffyville – Prentiss the Plumber and Rat Atat – who joined regulars Steve the Werewolf, FAQ and The Bearded Witch.

The response was overwhelming including a number of very positive reviews.
