The Man Who Was Magic

Dare to believe in magic as the UK's #1 magic show returns with a completely new and uplifting production for 2025. You're invited to a night of wonder, as secrets unravel and the impossible becomes possible. Following an unprecedented 5 years of sold-out shows around the world - this five star magic show guarantees to leave you aching with laughter & dizzy in disbelief.


Presented by world-renowned award winning magician James Phelan, the first magician in history to sell out a solo-run at The Magic Circle - and most infamous for jamming the BBC switchboard after he correctly predicted the lottery.

Don't miss what The Standard calls "An unforgettable evening we can't stop talking about".

Biff To The Future

Biff To The Future

Fresh from an acclaimed, award-winning Edinburgh Festival Fringe premiere, Biff To The Future is now touring the UK! The iconic villain of “Back To The Future” takes centre stage in this comedic reimagination of Marty’s time-traveling escapades, turning the celebrated cinematic trilogy on its head from the perspective of Biff, the bully audiences love to hate. This new, heartfelt and unauthorised parody explores the highs and lows of a life chasing power, fame and fortune, reliving Biff’s encounters with Marty and Doc across the centuries. This Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Award 2025 winner is perfect for superfans and newcomers alike! Created and performed by Joseph Maudsley (as seen in the Reduced Shakespeare Company, FRIEND (The one with Gunther) and Potted Potter). Directed by double Olivier Award nominee Daniel Clarkson.
