James Phelan: The Dreamer

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this coming January, James Phelan is bringing his magic show, The Dreamer, to Komedia. It is a production that focuses on the concept of making the impossible seem possible, which is the core theme of his performance. Phelan is a familiar face for those who watch BBC programming, having been the most broadcast magician on the network over the last decade. He is perhaps best known for a specific incident where he correctly predicted the lottery, an event that reportedly caused quite a stir at the BBC switchboard at the time.

The show is scheduled for a series of dates throughout January 2027. You can catch it on the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th. Every performance is set to start at 20:00. The venue, Komedia, is located right in the heart of the city at 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton and Hove, BN1 1UN. It is a central spot that most locals will be familiar with, making it a straightforward place to get to for an evening out.

Regarding the logistics, standard tickets are priced at £32.50. It is worth noting that the show is recommended for anyone aged 12 and over. If you are planning to go with younger family members, keep in mind that anyone under the age of 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. It is a straightforward setup for a magic show, and given the venue's location, it fits well into a night out in the North Laine area if you want to grab a drink or dinner beforehand.
