Brain Candy Live Tickets

I took my geeky 22-yr-old son and 2 cousins, and we had a good time, laughed a lot, were amazed a few times. Seems like it was aimed at younger kids with less knowledge -- which makes sense. So we liked it a lot, even though some of the time it felt slow to us, maybe because we knew some of the material, maybe because it felt a little over-explained at times and could have packed in a few more items.

There were a few gems of scientific interest that perked my brain up, but for the most part I was bored. I wish Adam Savage had taken a larger role on stage, but Vsauce did quite a bit of the talking. While his intimate YT videos are great, I don't think his personality fits the scale of the stage. The jokes were not great, and the audience awkwardly clapped at them. Transitions could have been snappier. Their energy level was great, but the show just didn't gel or hold my interest. I believe we saw one of the first shows of the tour, so perhaps it tightens up as it goes across the country. Children might be more easily entertained, but I didn't think it was worth the ticket cost at all.

We love Mythbusters and Michael Stevens' videos also but this was just ok. A few good laughs and some interesting science but not as good as we hoped.

Full of joy and play and exuberant curiosity. The best art and science see the world with a child's eyes. If only more adults still had access to the wonder and mystery of seeing the world as it is. Who needs religion? Actual truth is astounding and beautiful.

Pretty anticlimactic, but I guess should have been expected. How can you make a show about science interesting for little kids and adults at the same time. Was expecting a little more.

Michael Stevens and Adam Savage are just like what you see on TV. They're fun and knowledgeable. The experiments were big and exciting!

My kids, ages 10 and 12.--who are Mythbusters fans, really loved it. I don't think it's for kids under 8 though because the concepts were a little complex.

Less than impressive. Seemed very disorganized. They forgot to set up experiments, ran out of things and a couple things didn't work...they couldn't even get the air gun to shoot a tshirt into the crowd to work. Their biggest experiment was an epic fail...the hair dryer powered hover craft. The most exciting part, which wasn't very exciting, was them shooting a trash can full of ping pong balls into the crowd. All in all a pretty lame experience. Would not waste the money or time.

The demonstrations were on-par with an school assembly

I was really hoping for something akin to a science-based magic show - where things were done to provide some fascination with science & technology, etc. But it was not. The entire show was loosely about air and its interactions with things, had little "snap" or "pizzaz." It felt hokey. I went based on knowing a bit about Jamie & Michael, and hoping some of the Mythbustes and VSauce things would come together nicely as a treat. Instead... bleah. I'm an engineer. This show was not for me. My kids might've liked this show, or perhaps "fanbois" I wouldn't recommend it.

An excellent show for children or anyone interested in really nerdy stuff. Great time with two excellent showmen

If you want to hear a long story about how the parents didn't get along and the father slept in the basement with the argon gas coming up out of the ground (someone did shout out a correction to let them know it"s radon gas not argon). If you want to hear a long story about college days and failing to be able to build a prop. If you want to see failed experiments that didn't work,( hover board wouldn't take off, water didn't boil because someone forgot to plug in the electric coffee pot, smoke machine didn't work every time). Then this show is for you, not me. Most of the show dealt with air, air movement and boring stories, I wasn't impressed.

Well done performance , thought provoking .Adam Savage and Michael Stevens are magic together on stage and complement each other very well. Very interactive with the audience .

These two guys are very entertaining, but the science and the wows during the show are very very forgettable. I am paying $50 a ticket, I want to see something that I have never seen before. The experiments done on stage were elementary. This show would be great for elementary or middle schoolers but not much else and not worth $50.
