If your kids love asking why, how and what happens if, clear the calendar because The Alphabet of Awesome Science is making a triumphant return to Adelaide Fringe and it’s bursting with brain-boosting brilliance.
After gobsmacking audiences across the globe with their smash-hit alphabetical, scientifical shenanigans, Professors Lexi Con, the Word Nerd, and Noel Edge, the Science Freak, are back where it all began, serving up an hour of carefully crafted chaos that is as educational as it is explosive.
This high-energy, family-friendly Fringe favourite takes curious kids and their grown-ups on a whirlwind A-to-Z adventure, where fascinating words spark mind-blowing science experiments that float, fly, squirt, spray, ignite and erupt. Expect plenty of laughs, gasp-out-loud moments and more than a few “how did they do that?” reactions from the crowd.
