Brainiac Live! is returning to London’s West End this summer.
The Olivier Award-winning stage show inspired by the much-loved kids’ TV series will play at the Garrick Theatre in London from 26 July to 30 August 2026.
Promising to be more mischievous than ever before, the family show takes audiences on a journey through the mysteries of science, doing all of those things on stage that you’re far too scared – and not allowed – to do at home.
The show is packed with experiments and demonstrations, with liquid nitrogen clouds, vortex smoke rings, exploding hydrogen balloons, spinning COâ‚‚ chairs and plenty of spectacular surprises.
Since its debut in 2008, Brainiac Live! has toured extensively in the UK and around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, and played a number of London theatre residencies. Last year’s run at London’s Marylebone Theatre resulted in an Olivier Award win for Best Family Show.
Brainiac Live! is produced by Dan Colman, with Andy Joyce as Creative Director, and Damian Stanton as Designer.
The show is also currently touring the UK.
