Sky One's Brainiac: Science Abuse show is to be staged live in theatres across the UK.

After five years and almost 60 programmes, the show will be visiting 20 cities, starting at the Hackney Empire in London on February 22nd, with more dates due to be announced soon.

There will be 22 experiments with audience participation, while it's also been promised that a caravan will be blown up at every single performance.

Dr John Kilcoyne, one of the chief Brainiac boffins, is the live show's Science Consultant and will make surprise guest appearances at some venues.
