Rating: ****1/2

Until March 15

Irishman Donal Vaughan travels the world making science fun.

He presents simple experiments using everyday materials that kids can try at home, yet they are spectacular, messy and most definitely fun.

A true showman, Donal makes the magic happen in such a delightful, entertaining way. Laughter bubbles up and bursts from children and adults alike.

Even if you think you’ve seen it all before, this comic genius makes the same old chemical reactions fresh and new again.

Don makes “dragon breath” from “werewolf pee, goblin snot and fairy dust”, he cracks jokes about farts, wee and bums without using any bad language and easily makes an hour disappear, at a very reasonable price.

Little science superheroes leave full of ideas about “changing things up and seeing what happens”.
