For me, the Mind Mangler was the least funny section of Magic Goes Wrong, so difficult to see how they've stretched this to a full show.

Looks like this is touring after its West End run. It's Manchester bound in May.

There were 2 or 3 venues they should have visited last year & had to cancel when Peter Pan Goes Wrong went to Broadway which they promised to come to later. I know Bath was one of them, can't recall if Manchester was. So at least part of a post-WE tour will presumably be going to the cancelled venues. Audiences have only had to wait about a year! |

They went to Salford last year instead of Manchester and those dates at The Lowry went ahead. |

Considering seeing this on Wednesday. My ten year old loves their stuff and has seen Goes Wrong and Peter Pan live, and the BBC series. Does this have any blood/gore/accidental dismemberment? I’m trying to work out if it’s as suitable as their other stuff and I am not sure how the magic goes wrong.
(Also, this seems to have very good availability. Any thoughts on whether they’ll discount/best way to get good seats at a better price than currently on TodayTix?)

Went to see this last night. Top two tiers closed, I suspect everyone had been moved down. I think it was only the second preview so maybe it will warm up. It’s the weakest of the Mischief shows that I have seen. Mildly amusing. No blood or gore.

It was no more than a mildly amusing part of 'Magic Goes Wrong' so I'm amazed it's been spun out into a full show.

To those who have seen, is it quite slapstick?

No, I wouldn’t say it was slapstick.
I saw a poster for this on the tube today and I noticed that one of the actors was different. So, turns out Jonathan Sayer was not on as the stooge.

I saw this in NY and it was the weakest of the three Mischief shows that played there last year (Peter Pan, Show Goes Wrong and this) but I’m still happy I saw it.
Not much slapstick. But a 10 year old should be okay seeing it. There’s more audience participation and some of the adlibs may be a little suggestive but not too bad.

Saw it last week and really enjoyed it. For me it was the best part of Magic Goes Wrong - how tastes differ ! Lots of audience particpation and some actual magic tricks. Agree a 10 year old should be fine with it. Not really slapstick more dame like .

Given Henry Lewis has said in interviews that he's been keen on magic since his childhood, I suspect it might be at least partly due to his personal keeness. Even with MGW, when it did its second stint in the WE after being interrupted by covid & rewritten he was one of only 2 of the original cast to return to the show, so it feels as if he must really like it. |

Saw this last night and I found it very funny!
Yes I overheard one of the stage hands talking to an audience member behind me planning the next gag - but it didn't matter to me. It probably adds to the humour more than anything 🤣. If you like Mischief then you're going to like this a lot. The audience were very receptive and laughed more than I've seen them laugh before.
