Spectacular stunts
Brace yourselves for Stef’s revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive new 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 science communication adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science.
Based on the Rude Science book (Quadrille) and following huge sell-out shows at science festivals across the UK, it’s coming your way on national tour.
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.
