Comedy magic show mixing comedy, magic, misfortune and questionable predictions, recommended for ages 16 and over.
Claire Voyant brings Don't Eat the Props to The Butler on Thursday 12 November, a comedy magic show that puts the comedy well ahead of the magic. It's billed as a gloriously silly evening of comedy, magic, misfortune and questionable predictions, and the title gives you a fair idea of the sort of things that go wrong on stage. If you're expecting a polished, high-production magic act, this isn't it — the whole thing leans into the mishaps and the unpredictable outcomes rather than the seamless trickery.
It's a full evening, running for two and a half hours, so it's more of a night out than a quick stop. The show is recommended for ages 16 and over, which is worth keeping in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger along. The venue is The Butler, at 85-91 Chatham Street, Reading RG1 7DS, right in the town centre.
