Bigger. Funnier. Explosive-ier.

The smash-hit Rude Science is back with a spectacular all-new show, bigger, messier and cheekier than ever! This high-tech, highly explosive family show is packed with brand-new science demos, outrageous stunts and laugh-out-loud audience interaction. Expect the world’s weirdest whoopee cushions, enormous explosions, even more disgusting surprises. 

Behind every bang, burp and belly laugh is real biology, chemistry and physics, transformed into brilliantly entertaining live science that gets children laughing, shouting – and learning without even noticing.

Created by BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates: award-winning presenter of 20 TV series including five for CBBC, and author of 13 STEM books including Rude Science. These spectacular live shows combine genuinely fascinating science with outrageous comedy, inspiring hundreds of thousands of children to discover that science is so much more exciting when it’s funny.

Real science. Properly rude.
