About Brainiac Live

Brainiac Live is a family science theatre show at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End, winner of the 2025 Olivier Award for Best Family Show. Built around high-energy experiments performed live on stage, the production draws on the long-running Brainiac brand to bring chemistry, physics, and general scientific chaos to a seated theatre audience. The show runs with a cast of performers known as the Brainiacs, who conduct the kind of loud, volatile demonstrations that are firmly off the menu at home.

City AM described it as "noisy, anarchic fun" that "bubbles over with kinetic energy", while Spy in the Stalls called it "quite literally, explosive, in both its energy and experiments". The Olivier win confirms its standing as one of the leading family productions currently playing in London.

What to expect

The show is structured as a fast-paced sequence of live science experiments, with audience members watching from their seats as the Brainiacs work through a programme of increasingly spectacular demonstrations. Expect loud bangs, unexpected reactions, and a format designed to keep younger audiences engaged throughout. The tone is comedic and participatory, with performers playing up the danger and unpredictability of each experiment for theatrical effect.

Tickets cover a reserved seat in the Garrick Theatre's auditorium for the full performance. The production is suitable for families, and the theatre offers accessible booking, including wheelchair spaces and captioned or audio-described performances, via its dedicated access line at 0330 333 4815.
