Brain Candy Live

Myself and my Seven year old son were very well entertained. I appreciated the family style in which it was presented, and the simple analogies and explanations which helped the younger attendees to comprehend what was occurring.

Amazing! FUNNY! Sweet! Interesting! We enjoyed the show as much as our 9 and 10 year old boys! Adam and Michael ROCK!

Brain candy live was an awesome experience. I ve been a Vsauce fan pretty much since it started and also have enjoyed watching Mythbusters. It was a whole lotta fun seeing Adam and Michael in person and meeting them, as I was chosen to go on stage! Highly recommend, they do some really cool stuff, will always remember this night!

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.

I have not laughed that hard in a long time. Both guys are great showmen, and make sciencey stuff fun.

This is a great event for kids. I believe that adults who are likely to attend this type of event are scientifically literate and, therefore, may not be entertained by this show. I decided to attend based, in part, by the time of the event. 7 pm on a school night implies a show geared towards adults. It was a kids show. Either market it as a kids' show (with kid/family/school friendly show times) or make the show a little more rigorous for scientifically literate adults.

I brought my two sons to this, they thought it was completely awesome. My oldest son is a big Adam Savage fan and now he's big into VSauce too. Says this was probably the best show he's ever seen.

My 13 yo son knew about the event from YouTube and asked for tickets. I'm so glad I splurged for them. He loved every nerdy minute of it! I wasn't sure what to expect but it was basically a comedy/magic show based on real science. Adam and Michael are funny, the show is well written and of course, educational. As a 48 yo, some of it was a little too scripted / slow and other times the scientific content or youtube jokes went over my head. People 6-86 yo enjoyed it and I would recommend it for anyone looking to geek out on science.

They took a simple concept like air and made it interesting enough to fill 2 hours with unforgetable SCIENCE!

That ah ha moment mixed with some laughs, these guys need to be part of the educational system!

Adam and Michael were very entertaining. They have great energy and chemistry on the stage. I'm pretty sure I learned a bunch of things as well. Great for the family

AMAZING!!! That's enough said. You should definitely watch Brain Candy!!

My adult son And I enjoyed the show very much!! Recommend!

Although it is presented with high energy, it is low level science, more appropriate for a high school level audience.

My wife and I had a great time at Adam and Michael's show. She is a bit "physics-challenged" but enjoyed the demos, the jokes, the audience participation and just may have learned a thing or two. The unexpected bonus was a little sample of what happens when nerds lose their inhibitions. I have never before seen such dance moves. Bring the kids! Come prepared with a question for Adam or Michael.

Amazing show! Took my 12 year old, and he was blown away by the science and comedy. They put together the perfect show to teach science. The "WOW" factor is there. I recommend this show for a fun and educational family night out. AMAZING!

The experiments were fantastic!! The level of energy displayed by Adam and Michael and knowledge was astounding!! Having small kids there, the break in between was much longer than they said it would be, and the second half where they started with about 20-30 mins of answering tweets was not necessary and not what I paid for. That was a very disappointing part of the show. Would have loved more experiments that kept the kids interested the entire time!

Well polished show, Adam and Michael have great chemistry.

Very disappointing - - perhaps kids enjoyed but we were 2 adults that left at intermission. The only real highlight was them sending out a big smoke ring. There was nothing remotely mind blowing, as we had hoped. Should note overhead a guy at the concessions saying the same thing (and he had a teenage son).

The show was good. I brought both my kids ages 13+17 and they really enjoyed the show.

I guess this is best for children though the two girls that came with us were bored. They need to implement more subjects other than air into the entire show.

Brain Candy Live is simply the best. Adam and Michael are truly warm, caring people. They interact with the audience and are genuinely into everything they are demonstrating. There was a couple epic fails during the show but that just proved they are constantly coming up with new ideas...some work some don't. We did the meet and greet and they were down to earth and took time with each guest during the photo ops. My son who has ADD was all up in Adam's face and th man laughed and talked with him. Not one pretense of celebrity. In a world of Spaceys and Weinsteins, Adam and Michael are great male role models in the public eye.

I've been a fan of Adam's for years....since the beginning of Mythbusters. However, the road show didn't work for me. It was about very basic physics and really didn't hit the "mythbusters" level that I had come to expect. The failure of the leaf blowers sort of did me in. Again, very disappointed....really liked him a lot.

Considering the quality of videos that Michael Stevens produces, and Adam Savage's incredible work on mythbusters, I would have expected a more interesting show. It seemed like it was targeted at middle schoolers, and I wish they'd advertised it as such.

Brain Candy was so much fun, and so informative in a great way! The production was entertaining for all - there was an eclectic and diverse audience and everyone seem to have a good time. Both Adam and Michael made it feel interactive. Would definitely go again!

I should have known based on the name "brain candy" that this is a science show aimed at children. I'm a huge fan of Michael Stevens and Michael Savage, but this event seems to be mostly a Michael Savage creation. The "science" component consisted of a few insubstantial tricks that lacked the sophistication I had expected of a Michael Stevens production. Kids will be amazed and certainly enjoy the cheezy antics and punny jokes far more than I did.

I love these two personalities so it was an instant buy to see both live together. I loved the show and it was lots of fun. There were some really neat experiments and the chemistry on stage, as well as the production and dialogue, was great. However my only complaints would be that the science they covered was pretty simple, a decently large portion of the show was dedicated to a live Twitter Q&A which was interesting but unexpected, and few of the set pieces were truly as jaw dropping as I hoped.

My son and I went to the show. I flew in to take him. The show was interesting and funny and informative but there were "dead spots" where it seemed like they were just trying to lengthen the show.

The science was amazing, Michael and Adam are entertaining and fun, and the dancing is just spot on (you'll know what I mean when you go).

A+ We enjoyed it and are looking forward to Brain Candy 2!

The show was fairly entertaining and Adam is so real and likable. I'm not familiar with his new partner who was a little long winded on the scientific explanations. There were some definite lulls between bits where the 2 danced around the stage in the dark - that could be improved. We did really like the small, medium and extra large air cannons as well as the ping pong ball shooters. Even though I'm not on Twitter, I liked the use of it for audience questions. It was much more efficient that someone running around the audience with a microphone. Overall the show was less polished that Adam's Mythbuster's show but we liked it.

Interesting, humorous, crazy, surprising, fun, educational. A great show for adults and children. Science made enjoyable for all!

Guess I was expecting more from these two guys. It was a cure show if you have kids under 12 but would not recommend to adults or college aged groups.

It is exactly what you expect from Adam and Michael, the show was funny, fun, entertaining, and I learned a quite a bit.

I have been a Vsauce fan for years and he's taught me so much. He makes science fun. Adam Savage is a legend! Those two minds together on stage made for a mind blowing show. Loved their on stage humor too!

Very entertaining show, with guys who really know how to get you thinking differently about everyday tasks. We loved it!

Brought my 10 year old son because he's a huge Mythbusters fan. Turns out we were all entertained! They didn't just stand up on stage and answer questions, they performed experiments as to why the science said this or that. They exploded quite a few plastic bottles, which all the kids thought was amazing.

Had a great time; Adam and Michael provided great entertainment while teaching the audience about science

This show was a fun and educational experience. My children and I loved learning from these mad scientists!

Didn't really know what to expect coming to this show, but I'm very glad my boyfriend and I did! We are both huge fans of Michael and Adam, so we knew this was going to be a pretty great time, and it was. This wasn't just all do at home science projects, this was a fun learning experience, and we saw some things we've never seen before. We were amazed at how many kids were actually there, but it made the program a lot more fun, seeing children learning new things for the first time. The most rewarding part of this show was that they actually talked and interacted with the audience, having volunteers come up for experiments, real questions being answered, and Adam and Michael telling us about their past lives in science.

I have been watching Vsauce for a while and saw a few episodes of MythBusters and when I saw this, it was so cool! Adam and Michael were really funny and I learned so much. Although Micheal's puns were, um, interesting, I had so much fun there. I would go see it again anytime.

So many ping pong balls! They put on an amazing show and break it down to make it super understandable.

Very entertaining, anyone who loves science should see this.

We loved this show! It was a lot of fun, and was both visually and intellectually stimulating.

My husband and I truly enjoyed this Evening with Mr. Savage and Mr. Stevens. They did a great job of making their presentations so entertaining, you had no idea you were learning.

Very entertaining - Adam and Mike definitely know their stuff and entertain their audience whole-heartedly. So much fun

So much fun! Audience was involved. Laughed non stop. Learned some cool things in a fun way!!!! Would see it again for sure

Entertaining and educational throughout. Love Adam Savage!

I took my daughters, ages 7 and 8 and we all had a good time. Very entertaining for all 3 of us. Nothing inappropriate for their age either.

I attended Brain Candy Live when they stopped in Cleveland in March '17 and it was unforgettable. I went again in Akron and it was even better! They only changed a few things but it was fantastic! Absolutely recommend going at least once!

Every year, I take my grandchildren to the show of their choice for the holidays and this year, it was Brain Candy. We all loved it, especially since it made learning so much fun. I have to admit, I got lost a few times, but watching them, I knew they followed everything. I was actually in the hospital but insisted on being released so I could be there. I'm so glad I did! Thank you for a wonderful show. Pat

The show was all around a fun time for my wife and I. The show predominantly featured science demonstrations related to air and pressure, but despite the limited breadth of topics, the show never got boring and remained fun and engaging throughout. Would recommend to anyone who loves casual science discussions mixed with lots of humour and dad jokes!

We thought the show was awesome! The show itself is maturing and we thought both Adam and Michael were very entertaining and material educational. My daughter loved the show and will probably remember it for the rest of her life!!! Thanks for bringing it to AKRON!!

Not much willy wonka or walt Disney. Second half was a question and answer session. Lots of talk and not much action!

Very enjoyable show. Keep in mind that it is for all ages, Some people were expecting college level science but the room is full of people ages 8 to 80 and the show is designed for all. Quite enjoyable and made me think. i learned from it and I laughed at the same time.

My kiddo loved it! He loved how the smoke rings went flying through the air and the blasting of ping pong balls. He really wanted to go up on stage but I m not sure how you get to be able to be one of the chosen kids to do that

My boys and I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Adam and Michael were a wonderful combination of education and entertainment.

As expected, Adam and Michael presented science principles in a fun, spectacular way. Very recommended!

An entertaining, low-key evening of science, discussion and fun. Not quite as over-the-top as the MythBusters tour, but seeing Adam and Michael is worth the meagre cost.

I took my 13 year old to see Brain Candy. The look on his face was priceless. We have talked about science for a few days now. We both loved it!!

The show was fun and lively. It was nice to see science explained so well.

My son is a science geek and watches VSauce all the time and even gets his Curosity Box and T-shirts (which are $30 at the show) thus he thought the show was awesome. I think it was a bit overpriced however, what truly is the value of getting your kid stoked on science and not on a video game?

Great family show!! Entertaining and educational!!

This event was a lot of fun. We were not that familiar with the type of acts that were performed but we were well entertained.

Totally enjoyed the show. Was more than we expected.

An excellent and creative series of physics demonstrations, with intertaining patter to explain it all.

It was so entertaining, upbeat and original. I do nothing I could suggest anything except maybe a little help with the jokes... thank you for doing what you do... They kids love the ping pong balls. That is such a wonderful touch. Maybe more ping pong balls. I remember the best part to this day( I am 65) something captain kangaroo did. It still puts a smile on my face. It was when the rabbit would make the ping pong balls fall all over him. I bet the kids would love to see that happen..

Definitely designed as a family event. As an adult, I was already aware of the majority (though not all!) of the concepts demonstrated. But what demonstrations they were!

Scientists, engineers, tinkerers and innovators are not the most entertaining people in the world. Nonetheless, we need more of them in the world. So, support these guys in their pursuit to inspire and educate the current and next generation of humans. Without this kind of show, we are all doomed as a species.

For a two hour show there was a lot of filler. The content that they did have was decent but not great- except for the air zookas. Those were a lot of fun and they could have shot several more vapor rings out over the audience. This is probably best enjoyed by 3rd thru 8th graders.

Firstly, I love Adam and Michael; I can't get enough of Tested and Vsauce. That said, I was very disappointed by how simplistic the show was. I can sympathize with them in how hard it must be to create a hands-on demonstration-based stage show that appeals to a wide age range, but whether or not my expectations were reasonable, I definitely expected much more depth and profundity than an elementary/freshmen level presentation. There was little that even approached the depth/detail of a Tested video or the depth/complexity of a Vsauce video. There was an off-hand comparison made near the start of the show to TED Talks, but it's clear that TED Talks (or Vsauce videos) delve orders of magnitude deeper into ideas/issues via PowerPoint-style slides than a visual hands-on demonstration-based stage show like this allows. Ultimately, there was little I learned from this show that I imagine your average adult fan of either of them (of which I unabashedly count myself) wouldn't already know and have seen at least a video demonstration of before. The only truly positive thing I can take away from this is getting to see Adam and Michael in-person. As someone who watches YouTube entirely in place of TV, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone in-person that I first saw online (or on a screen, for that matter). Overall, I view this as a very entertaining/engaging and science-promoting kids' show. For someone older (29, in my case) who's even remotely interested in science-based content, this show is a disappointment.

I took the niece (13) and nephew (11) to the show they like science thought it would be fun. It was and we all learned something. The things they did on stage were amazing. The second half of the show was a little slower, and not as engaging as the first half. We sat next to a super exuberant kid, a little loud and excited, but it was fine.Overall fun for everyone.

I knew when I purchased the tickets for my husband & I for a much needed date night that we wouldn't be disappointed. We watch Michael on VSauce all of the time & we watched Myth Busters when it was aired. What I didn't expect was how amazing beyond my imagination it would be to actually be there and experience it live! I hope that they will do another tour here & look forward to seeing them again either together again or even separate events!!!!

This show was great. It explained a lot about science and principles that my son was interested in. It had some great stage experiments and got the crowd involved. I would go see it again if it were to come back into town. My son enjoyed it as well and really reinforced his love of science.

Informative,fun, and inspirational it's perfect for the geeky person in your family

great evening, with many fun moments, but more family friendly than I'd liked and tailored to a broader, general audience than I expected. But great nonetheless.

Educational and incredibly fun- these guys are high energy and amazing- my 14 year old is a science kid and he was still buzzing about it the next day- not only was it fun (and that's coming from me who is not a science person) but I really appreciated that they took the time to answer audience questions and had some inspiring words that really resonated with my son. Just phenomenal. Thanks Adam and Michael!

Was expecting a more extravagant show. Good for kids,dull for adults. Not as many experiments as I would have liked. Repetitive throughout. Would be better suited in school assemblies rather than high priced tickets.

I have loved Adam since I was a teenager, and seeing him in person was just as amazing as I hoped. Adding Michael was a super plus!

This show was geared towards kids and they liked it. Somewhat entertaining but the "science" information was at middle school level at most. The performers should have a meet and greet to justify the cost of tickets. Robinson Center was a disappointment as far as seating.With the remodeling they should have raised the graduated seating. The view of center stage was completely blocked by the person in front of me.

This was an amazing show. If you are a fan of Mythbusters, Tested, or Vsauce then you need to go. If you enjoy science and jokes then book your tickets now.

The show was great! We really enjoyed the VIP passes and getting to meet the guys.

My 8 and 12 year old neohews loved every minute of the show.

Entertaining and educational at the same time. My 13 and15 year old loved it! Wish I would have know. How to get the waivers

I can't quite put my finger on it but I was expecting a bit more wow from this show when I first saw the advert.

This show was so much fun!! As adults we didn't really learn anything new, but the demonstrations were still awesome to watch and the guys' humor made it that much better. If you love all things Adam Savage and Mythbusters and science (as we do), then you will love this. (I do have to spoil it though and mention they were not allowed to use explosives on the indoor stage.) Highly, highly recommend it!!

Great show. Educational and funny. Highly recommend it!

Awesome show, fun and challenging. Great night. I would definitely go again.

Overall it was a very fun show and I love the science behind it all still trying to keep it basic for young audience but deep enough for mature audience wish it had more content though and the Majestic Theatre did not allow for justice with VIP passes was stuck in the back for meet and greet and terrible seating

I went to this not quite knowing what to expect and I was quite surprised at it all, in a good way. Adam and Michael interact with the audience extremely well both individually and as a team. Their show was engaging for adults and children with little downtime, aside from a break in the middle. The quality and length of the show is well worth the price and premium seats so you can be right up front.
