We loved it! The experiments were exciting, and we all learned a thing or two! Doktor Kaboom is a natural performer and genuinely lovely person. I’d love go again! 10/10 and I’d recommend for kids if all ages, especially 6+!

Joy Bariana 53 days ago

Absolutely loved this show. Dr Kaboom certainly is a man of science.
Perfect pitched for any age kid I'd say and I'm not ashamed to admit that I also unwittingly learnt several things.
At least 10 stars!

Donna 54 days ago

Brilliant show! My 10 year old loved it as did the adults. The experiments were cool and the interaction with the audience was great.
Naturally funny and engaging.
"5 out of 5 stars, brilliant, loved it" A - age 10

Children enjoyed this. Well explained but talks too quickly and could have done more experiments in the time. Way fewer experiments than on the other reviews and a lot of talking and trying to crowd please

David Pollitt 58 days ago

Amazing! What a wonderful show!! We took our two 9yr olds and we all loved every minute of it. The experiments were fun and engaging and Doktor K's enthusiasm and engagement with the kids and audience were amazing. Loved the messages of positivity and how science is accessible to all. Cannot recommend highly enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went along without kids and wondered whether it was for us. I loved seeing Dr K interacting with the kids. Such an amazing educator. Encouraging them to step into science and realise that it is accessible to all. Good work and fun. As a mid 50s science guy I didn't expect to but learned stuff too.

Great show for children and adults alike. Lots of exciting experiments to watch and understand but Doktor Kaboom's personality and humour stole the show for me - Ja!

RICHARD KANE 65 days ago

This show is brilliant! Lots of very fun and amazing science experiments carried out live on stage, some with audience volunteers! Very much a children's show but adults can still enjoy the experiments too! (And, if you are like me, maybe even learn some things about how electricity works or how to make your own hovercraft!!!)

Doktor Kaboom’s ultimate goal to leave every child with a sense of confidence in their own intelligence and abilities is admirable and well executed.

An hour which is educational as well as engrossing that builds children’s confidence and teaches all of us a few lessons

Lisa in the Theatre (5/5 stars) 61 days ago

It's well worth taking the whole family to see Doktor Kaboom as long as you don't mind leaving the show smelling of chips.
