Alakazam
Silent Clown Wizardry
Ben has discovered he has magical powers and he'd like you to witness them. But what even is magic? A bunny out of a hat? A first kiss? Cutting a beautiful lady in two? Only one way to find out, come along.
Alakazam is a nonverbal show helmed by Ben McCarthy, a clown/improviser based in Melbourne.
After a sellout season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (CADET KELLY IS THE BEST MOVIE I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY FRIGGIN LIFE) Ben is back with a brand new show!
★★★★ "“Ben McCarthy’s particular brand of Hi-NRG clowning makes for a truly deranged hour” - The Age
DISCLAIMER: This is not a real magic show involving magic tricks, there is however magic all around us, which means there's magic in every Fringe show. So therefore yes, it is a magic show, they all are.
Presented by: Ben McCarthy
