If, like me, you’ve got a 7 year old who’s not only mad keen on science, but loves everything genuinely revolting, then this is the perfect show for you!
As part of the national tour, Rude Science Live! is heading to Lighthouse, Poole this Easter — 1st and 2nd April 2026 — with a trio of high‑energy shows designed to entertain, inspire, and bring the wow‑factor of science to life for young audiences.
So brace yourselves for TV Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly explosive new show, packed with outrageous science stunts.
You can expect enormous bottoms, f*rt machines, snot cocktails, vast whoopee cushions, pee-powered fireworks and ear-wax-oozing mannequins transforming complex science into educational hilarity – sounds right up any child’s street!
On the surface, it’s just hilarious fun — but it’s secretly educational gold. Cleverly disguised beneath a variety of disgusting, giggle-inducing experiments designed to delight young audiences, but in reality, it’s so much more; it’s a brilliantly constructed, curriculum-driven science adventure designed to inspire, engage and spark a lasting love of science.
Stefan Gates is a multi award winning STEM author and CBBC writer and presenter who revels in tackling the fascinating science themes that are so often considered taboo. Packed with science stunts and spectacular experiments, Rude Science Live! promises to be glorious and revolting entertainment for the entire family.
Taking place in the Concert Hall of Lighthouse, Poole, it’s the perfect setting for a show of this scale and subject. Recommended for ages 6 and up, tickets cost from £20.35 each, so what are you waiting – get booking tickets for the science event of the year!
