Donal Vaughan presents a kids’ science show stripped of flashy sets, sound effects or music – its just a man on a stage in a lab coat with a table filled with items commonly found around the home. His simple, no-fuss approach makes the show accessible for kids of all ages, and the added bonus is they’ll learn a lot of science along the way.

Donal performs several backyard science experiments, inviting audience members to take part. He explains the science behind each experiment and his engaging humour keeps kids and adults alike captivated through the whole show. Donal has done his homework – he seamlessly weaves Australian and Adelaide facts and references into his banter, and he knows how to get kids giggling –  and adults giggling even more so at many jokes that fly over the kids’ heads.

This show is a must-see for kids who love science and mess, and a must-see for kids who think science is boring – Donal will prove them wrong.
