Rude Science Live - 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 in this celebration of the fascinating bodily science essential to life. The show transforms complex biology, physics and chemistry into educational hilarity using Stef’s signature stunts and encyclopaedic science knowledge. 

Stefan Gates is an award-winning presenter of 20 TV series (including five for CBBC, including Incredible Edibles, Gastrolab and Gastronuts), and a STEM author of 12 books (including Fartology and Science You Can Eat), and he’s internationally renowned for his clever, high-octane, highly educational stage shows that inspire young audiences to fall in love with science.

Warnings: Loud bangs, audience participation, latex balloons, stage fog.
