Brainiac Live

Brainiac Live is a family theatre show at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End, winner of the 2025 Olivier Award for Best Family Show. The production brings science experiments, explosive demonstrations, and live audience participation to the stage in a format designed for children and adults alike.

On stage, the Brainiac presenters conduct high-energy experiments drawn from chemistry, physics, and biology, with volunteers from the audience joining in throughout. Expect fire, foam, and loud bangs delivered with comic timing. Tickets cover a single performance and are available across a range of seating tiers in the stalls and circle, with the show running at approximately 100 minutes including an interval. The Garrick Theatre schedule lists current performance dates and available seats.

The Garrick Theatre on Charing Cross Road opened in 1889 and seats around 656 across its stalls, dress circle, and upper circle. It sits a short walk from Leicester Square and Charing Cross stations, placing it at the centre of the West End theatre district. For other shows and things to do in London, the city's entertainment calendar runs year-round across venues throughout the capital.
