The Alphabet of Awesome Science is an award-winning, high-energy Fringe favourite that turns curiosity into chaos in the very best way. Designed for kids and their grown-ups, this fast-paced science spectacular blends clever wordplay with jaw-dropping experiments that fizz, fly, erupt and amaze.

Led by Professors Lexi Con, the Word Nerd, and Noel Edge, the Science Freak, the show takes audiences on an A to Z adventure where fascinating words inspire hands-on science demonstrations. From floating objects to fiery reactions, every moment is designed to spark curiosity, laughter and plenty of wide-eyed wonder.

This is science without the textbooks. Instead, it’s loud, silly, surprising and packed with moments that leave kids asking how did they do that? Along the way, young audiences are encouraged to think, question and engage, making it a brilliant introduction to scientific thinking wrapped in pure Fringe fun.

Beloved by families and critics alike, the show has earned multiple five-star reviews and Adelaide Fringe Awards, including Best Science at the Fringe and Best Kids and Family. FringeReview puts it best, urging kids to get their parents down to see it and not take no for an answer.

Perfect for curious minds of all ages, The Alphabet of Awesome Science is a must-see Fringe experience for families who love learning, laughter and a little bit of controlled chaos.
