Brainiac Live Tickets

Brainiac Live is a high-energy family science show playing at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End, and the winner of the 2025 Olivier Award for Best Family Show. Built around live experiments performed right there on stage, it brings chemistry, physics and a healthy dose of scientific chaos to a seated theatre audience. A team of performers known as the Brainiacs run through the kind of loud, volatile demonstrations that are firmly off-limits at home.

City AM called it "noisy, anarchic fun" that "bubbles over with kinetic energy", while Spy in the Stalls described it as "quite literally, explosive, in both its energy and experiments". The Olivier win confirms its place as one of the leading family productions currently playing in London.

What to expect

The show is a fast-paced run of live science experiments, with the audience watching from their seats as the Brainiacs work through an ever more spectacular programme. Expect loud bangs, surprising reactions and a format built to keep younger audiences gripped from start to finish. The tone is comedic and playful, with the performers leaning into the danger and unpredictability of every experiment for full theatrical effect.

Your ticket covers a reserved seat in the Garrick Theatre auditorium for the full performance. The production is made for families, and the theatre offers accessible booking, including wheelchair spaces and captioned or audio-described performances, through its dedicated access line on 0330 333 4815.

The Garrick Theatre and getting there

The Garrick Theatre opened in 1889 and seats around 656 across its stalls, dress circle and upper circle. You'll find it at 2 Charing Cross Road, WC2H 0HH, a short walk from Charing Cross station and Leicester Square Underground station, right in the heart of the West End theatreland district.
