The newest comedy by the award-winning team behind the West End smash hit The Play That Goes Wrong can be seen on stage in Cambridge next week.

The magic show has been created with American magic duo Penn & Teller.

Stephen Fry called it “joyously silly and entirely wonderful”.

In Magic Goes Wrong a hapless gang of magicians are staging an evening of grand illusion to raise cash for charity.

But as the magic turns to mayhem, accidents spiral out of control and so does their fundraising target.

Magic Goes Wrong combines Mischief Theatre’s signature laugh-out-loud slapstick comedy with real magic and daredevil stunts.

Mischief was founded in 2008 by a group of friends and students from The London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA).

Since their 2012 stage play The Play That Goes Wrong Mischief skyrocketed in popularity, performing in the West End and on tour across the UK, Europe and Asia.

Other productions include The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and Mischief Movie Night.

Penn & Teller are co-creators of the Magic Goes Wrong show but won't be appearing on stage.

The American magicians and entertainers have performed together since the late 1970s and are particularly celebrated for combining magic and comedy.

The duo have starred in numerous stage and TV productions, and currently perform at the hotel and casino The Rio in Las Vegas.
