Brace yourselves for the Rude Science team’s hilarious, high-tech, highly-explosive new journey through the human body, packed with burp biology, fart physics and revolting edible chemistry. Expect enormous bottoms, edible fireworks, burp machines and the world’s loudest fart in this riotous science spectacular.

On the surface, it’s a rollercoaster of disgusting experiments built to delight young audiences, but under the bonnet, it’s a brilliantly constructed curriculum-driven adventure designed to inspire Britain’s kids with a lasting fascination for science.

The show is the brainchild of Stefan Gates, high-octane presenter of 20 TV series (five for CBBC), award-winning author of 13 books (including Rude Science), and internationally renowned producer of world-class science stage shows.
