Two mad scientists, one holding dry ice coming out of red liquid pushing the other away with his leg. The other scientist is wearing a yellow crash helmet and is trying to get involved. He is holding caution tape and a leaf blower!
One mad scientist is holding a clapper board and wearing a top hat looking on and surprised at the other scientist who has created a massive flame with a lighter, he is very happy. They are both wearing white lab coats.
One mad scientist is wearing a black tshirt with fake suit printed on it it. He is also wearing a top hat and is holding a black umbrella over another mad scientist who is holding a bottle of liquid that is exploding onto his face and into the umbrella.

Super Science Show

What’s better than one mad scientist? Two Scientwits! Captain Chaos has invented a contraption called the ‘Changeatron’ to make Science Sam less boring and educational like him. The machine malfunctions, creating Sam’s new character: Super Science, a more extreme version of Captain Chaos! 

Super Science up levels the experiments, making them bigger and more spectacular and asks YOU to decide what happens next by using the ‘Wheel of Chaos’! Will Super Science ever be boring Science Sam again or has he been irreversibly changed forever? Crazy science, hilarity and complete chaos all rolled into one show!

The Scientwits have wowed audiences young and old as they ignited themselves and curiosity in their unique interactive and hilarious shows, across multiple sold-out festival seasons.
