Brain Candy Live!
Brain Candy Live! was a dynamic stage show co-created by Adam Savage (of MythBusters fame) and Michael Stevens (the mind behind YouTube's Vsauce). Launched in 2017, the show combined science, comedy, and interactive demonstrations to engage audiences in a celebration of curiosity and learning.
Described as a blend between TED Talks and the Blue Man Group, Brain Candy Live! offered a two-hour theatrical experience filled with live experiments, humor, and audience participation. The show aimed to make science accessible and entertaining, featuring demonstrations that ranged from fluid dynamics to explosive finales involving hundreds of ping pong balls.
The inaugural tour in 2017 spanned 40 cities across the United States, receiving acclaim for its innovative approach to science education. A second tour was scheduled for 2018 but was ultimately canceled due to unspecified scheduling conflicts .
As of now, there are no announced plans for future Brain Candy Live! tours. Fans interested in similar content can explore Michael Stevens' Mind Field series on YouTube Premium or Adam Savage's ongoing projects on his YouTube channel, Tested.
Brain Candy Live! remains a memorable endeavor that successfully merged education and entertainment, leaving a lasting impact on audiences and inspiring a continued interest in the wonders of science.
