Book NowAbout the show
Doktor Kaboom and the Wheel of Science! is a live family science show from Doktor K Worldwide and Suzanna Rosenthal Productions, returning to Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 for a fifth year. The show features real science experiments on stage — potentially including a homemade hovercraft, a gigantic chemical reaction, or catapulting bananas — with the exact programme determined by spinning a wheel. No two shows are the same. Doktor Kaboom will give warnings before anticipated loud noises. Runs 60 minutes, suitable for ages 8 and over. Tickets from £8.
Why see this show?
An hour of unpredictable science chaos — the wheel decides what happens next, so every show is different. Perfect for curious families, and the warning-before-loud-noises policy makes it a considerate choice for younger or more sensitive audience members.
