The I Hate Children Children’s Show is a fantastic show for sadistic parents. Wait, what? Yes! The show will also appeal to kids who love participating onstage, who love magic and who can have a good laugh at themselves.

The talented, incredibly witty and likeable (even if he says he’s mean) Paul Dabek has made his return to Adelaide to deliver the I Hate Children Children’s Show where young children are invited onto the stage to partake in Dabek’s magic tricks while he pokes fun at them. Sounds mean? It kind of is but it’s a laugh-a-minute with Dabek who never misses a beat! His very quick sleight-of-hand and super quick wit produce a show that entertains everyone from 4-year-olds to adults and even….. teens! Yes, even the teens could not suppress the fact that they were more than a little amused!
