A man with silver hair and a grey beard is standing on stage in front of a large cloud. He looks amazed. A woman in a skirt and blouse is standing nearby. She is behind a red bench that is covered in small letters. She is laughing.

The Alphabet of Awesome Science

Join professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet — where sesquipedalian words inspire mind-blowing scientific surprises! It's a tongue-twisting race from A to Z that's equal parts explosive, messy, hilarious, fascinating and gross. Brace yourself for an hour of carefully crafted alphabetical, scientifical (award-winning!) chaos — that floats, flies, squirts, sprays, ignites and erupts!

★★★★★ "Sets the standard for educational family fringe entertainment. If I could give it six stars I would" The Advertiser

★★★★★ "Must see" Glam Adelaide

★★★★★ "A fast-paced, entertaining and eye-opening show that left the kids and I looking at each other in disbelief and clapping with joy after nearly every letter" See-Do-Eat-Review

Please note: This event has had a time change, and changed spaces from 'The Gosling' to 'The Flamingo' at Gluttony - Rymill Park since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.

Presented by: Six Foot Something Productions Pty Ltd

Six Foot Something Productions creates innovative “Science Theatre” for young people and their families — through a suite of programs called That Science Gang.

We facilitate collaborations between theatre creators and science communicators to produce compelling science-infused scenarios that better equip audiences to ask BIG questions about the world around them — so they can approach the future with knowledge and positivity.

We make science-infused experiences that encourage audiences to laugh as they learn.

That Science Gang is presenting two shows at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe Festival — a thrilling (and explosive!) race through the alphabet in “The Alphabet of Awesome Science” and a vaudeville-inspired musical comedy journey through the human digestive system in “You Are a Doughnut”.
