Aaabeduation – A Magic Show

Aaabeduation – A Magic Show

"We are the first show… in the Edinburgh Fringe Guide" magicians Malin Nilsson and Charlie Caper crow happily, claiming this as the reason for their strangely named show. This seems odd to be the sole reason to name a show, but as no other explanation is given, we just have to go with it...

Peter Antoniou – Happy Medium

Jerry Sadowitz: Comedian, Magician, Bawbag!

The nightmare continues... Highly offensive stand-up and sleight of hand skills combine to produce a show that uniquely defies audience appeal.
