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+!

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!

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

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!

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!!!)
