Brainiac Live

About Brainiac Live

Brainiac Live at the Garrick Theatre is the UK’s original family science show, returning to the West End with live experiments and a fast-moving stage show built around the weird and wonderful world of science. The Brainiacs take audiences through a series of experiments from the safety of their seats, with the kind of on-stage stunts they would not want to try at home.

The show was awarded the 2025 Olivier Award for Best Family Show. It is presented as an all-action live experience with a focus on science, energy and audience-friendly spectacle, making it a straightforward choice for families looking for a science-based show in central London.

The production has also been described by critics as noisy, anarchic fun with strong energy, and as a show for families that is “explosive” in its energy and experiments.
