About the show

Mischief Theatre have joined forces with iconic comedy duo Penn & Teller to present Magic Goes Wrong, now in its new home of the Apollo Theatre. This brand new show provides all the fun and farce that Mischief are famous for.

The original Mischief company make their return to the stage to perform in Magic Goes Wrong. They play a group of down-on-their-luck performance artists and magicians who are arranging a charity fundraiser. Among the gang is a mind reader, a quick-change artist, a circus double-act and a jeopardy magician. Surprise surprise: things do not go according to plan. As the accidents start to happen, hilarity ensues, and it seems they will never meet the fundraising target.

Headed up by Artistic Director Henry Lewis and Company Director Jonathan Sayer, Mischief Theatre made a name for themselves with West End long-runners The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery. They have toured around the world and earned myriad awards on the way.

Penn Fraser Jillette and Raymond Joseph Teller make up the legendary duo Penn & Teller. Their brand of magic trickery and comedy has been delighting TV, stage, film and video game audiences since the 1970s, and has earned them several awards too.

Combining head-turning illusions and high-quality silliness, Magic Goes Wrong is set to delight West End audiences
