AN EXCITING science show which will feature lots of amazing experiments from the world of science is heading to town.

The show called Exciting Science will be making its first ever appearance at The Haymarket on Thursday, February 24.

During the show audiences can join crazy scientists including Mad Mike, Dangerous Dean, Kindly Kelly and Fabulous Faye as they set out to create a volcanic eruption, build an air missile launcher, make mini rockets and create some pretty big bangs that you won’t want to miss.

The show is produced by Mike and Kelly Newman.

They said: “It all started when our five-year-old son came home from school and said he’d decided he’d like a “science party” for his birthday. After looking around at various science themed parties - we decided we’d create our own.

“The kids loved our film canister rockets, our vacuum cleaner missile launcher and smoke ring dustbins so much, that we decided to go even further and turn it into a stage show. Which is great, because in a theatre there’s more space to create even more mess, which is easier to clean than our lounge was at the end of our son’s birthday party.”

This highly interactive, educational show is the perfect way to expand your mind. It will astound all ages from four years upwards, as the scientists aim to put excitement into science.

Mike and Kelly added: “Mad Mike is the inventor of the group, handy with a role of gaffer tape and a set of pliers, he can turn anything into a new science experiment. Then there’s Dangerous Dean - he’s like our very own crash test dummy - if there’s anything the rest of us are unsure of doing, we make Dean do it first.

“Kindly Kelly - don’t be fooled by the big smile and flashing eyes, she’s a master of destruction - our very own demolition expert. (And it’s not always intentional) and finally, there’s fabulous Faye - she knows her facts, she knows her science... she’s just... well, fabulous.”

The couple described the funniest thing that happens on stage as the Coke and Mentos experiment.

They said: “That’s an easy one - It has to be during the “Coke & Mentos” experiment when Dangerous Dean, (who has to pull the pin and move out of the way, before the Coke Bottle explodes) - slipped and fell into the paddling pool and got covered in one litre worth of foaming coke.

“I did suggest we keep it as part of the show but Dean wasn’t too keen.”
