£18.50, NUS and Under 16's £16.50, group rates available THE AWARD-WINNING SCIENCE TV SERIES LIVE ON STAGE! BRAINIAC LIVE The show that laughs in the face of science… IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A PERFECT STORM IN A THEATRE? HOW MUCH OXYGEN & HELIUM DO YOU HAVE TO IGNITE TO MAKE A REALLY LOUD BANG? WHAT IS BRITAIN’S LOUDEST WORD? All these baffling scientific mysteries will be solved, caravans will explode and microwaves will be blown up…It can only mean one thing: TV’s zaniest science programme, ‘Brainiac: Science Abuse’ is being staged live in theatres across the UK! After five years and more than 60 programmes following the Brainiac boffins’ explosive voyage of scientific discovery, they’ve decided to take to the road and bring their madcap brand of experimentation to The Assembly Rooms. 'Science Abuse’ arrives with an earth-shattering bang for the first time on stage and it’s more mischievous than ever – there are 22 daredevil experiments with lots and lots of messy audience participation and yes, a caravan will be blown up at every single performance! You won’t believe your eyes – or ears – as Brainiac Joe escapes from Brainiac HQ to travel the length and breadth of the country mischievously exploring the mysteries of science. ‘Brainiac Live’ is a breathless ride through the wild world of the weird and wonderful that will tackle spectacular experiments in a quest for knowledge.
