The Utterly Revolting Science Show

The Utterly Revolting Science Show comes to Redgrave Theatre on Sunday 25 October, with two performances that day: one at 11:30am and another at 3pm. It's a science stunt show put on by the Rude Science team, and it does exactly what the title suggests. The set is built around burp biology, fart physics and revolting edible chemistry, with burp machines on stage and what they're billing as the world's loudest fart. It's a rollercoaster of disgusting experiments designed for young audiences, and it runs for 1 hour 30 minutes including an interval.

Behind it is Stefan Gates, who conceived the show. He's a high-octane presenter with 20 television series to his name, five of them for CBBC, and an award-winning author of 13 books, including Rude Science. He's also an internationally renowned producer of world-class science stage shows, so there's a fair bit of experience backing this one. While it looks like a series of gross-out experiments on the surface, it's a curriculum-driven adventure meant to leave children with a lasting fascination for science.

It's suitable for all and recommended for ages 5 and over. Under-18s need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and children under 24 months need a ticket, though you can add a free 'Lap Seat'. One practical thing to keep in mind: latex balloons are used, so it's not suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.

Tickets are £18.30 for adults and £16.30 for children, with a family ticket for two adults and two children at £64.20; a £1.50 booking fee is added per ticket. You can catch it at Redgrave Theatre, Percival Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 3LE, on Sunday 25 October at 11:30am or 3pm.
