Rude Science Live

28 Oct 2026 Multiple times

The naughtiest, funniest, most revolting science show in the world. 

Brace yourselves for BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive show, packed with outrageous science stunts. On the surface it’s a riot of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences but under the bonnet it’s a brilliantly-constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science. 

Expect enormous bottoms, f*rt machines, snot cocktails, vast whoopee cushions, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins. 

Stef is the high-octane presenter of 20 TV series (five for CBBC) and award-winning author of 12 books (including Rude Science). He’s internationally renowned for his world-class science stage shows.

Suitable for ages 6+ to young teens.

 

***‘Brilliant! Spectacular, hilarious and packed with fascinating science’***
