Fringe favourite and aptly titled Adults Only Magic Show, Showmen Productions has returned this year and brought with them a hilarious magic show you have to leave the kids at home for.
Fresh from sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, Perth and Adelaide Fringe Festival 2023, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023, comedy magicians Justin Williams and Sam Hume have brought us a rowdy night of magic with a touch of nudity!
Setting the mood before the real magic begins, you’ll be hyped up by their MC, Magnus ‘Danger’ Magnus who gives the perfect balance of hilariously crude and playfully rude energy.
With the audience already laughing, the side-stitches will come in thick and fast once Williams and Hume come on stage. As this year marks their tenth anniversary of working together, it’s no question to the audience they make the perfect duo for a show of this nature.
Not only was the chemistry between the magicians great to watch, but the whole audience is also encouraged to get involved and share in the fun they clearly were having on stage. With balls flying around and answers being yelled out by the audience, there is never a dull moment while watching the show.
Don’t be fooled by the jokes and MC, the magic tricks you will see are skilfully executed and leave your eyes wondering how it all happened. From excellent card tricks to hilarious escapes, nearly every trick is done with humour and flare.
Showmen Productions have more to give than adult humour though, they also have great shows that are family friendly including ‘Justin’s Big Balloon Show’ and ‘CIRCUS the Show’ so the kids don’t have to miss out.
If you’re looking for a magic show tailor-made for adults, Adults Only Magic Show isnot to be missed! I laughed, I gasped, I saw a little more than I expected, and I had nothing but fun.
Get ready for an electrifying blend of hilarious raucous comedy, adrenaline pumping stunts – all with a naughty twist!
