Big announcement, by popular demand! Here's some of the places I will not be this month!

I've had to postpone one of my stay-at-home days to attend Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret on Jan 22nd. Maybe you should ALSO leave the house and come hang out with me.

One of my most sensational tricks is where I predict the exact date of an audience members' own death. It comes with a "if it's not right, we'll MAKE it right" guarantee. We'll see who has their last laugh at Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret.

P.S. I can say this with confidence because all the fact-checkers have been fired.

This Saturday, Dec 28th in Calgary! Comedian Ben Cannon joins me as the special guest star at Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret.

A performer with a knack for blending self-deprecating wit with keen observational humor, Ben has graced stages at prestigious events like the YYComedy Festival. He also produces Ducking Comedy at Ducky’s, a local favorite that showcases some of Calgary’s top comedic talent. Whether he’s headlining shows or producing his own, Ben’s commitment to uplifting the local comedy scene is undeniable.

Ben’s material often reflects his Métis heritage, Calgary roots, and the hilarious awkwardness of navigating life’s twists and turns. With an easygoing charm and a genuine connection to his audience, he’s a comedian who leaves every crowd both entertained and wanting more.

It will truly be an evening featuring both Wit annnnd Wizardry, as I'll be hosting the show and bringing a few minor miracles to warm your winter. See you there!

Having come home from travelling with a bit of a sniffle, I quarantined myself for last week's Wit & Wizardry, but the show must go on!

As the host I presented my first two segments via live broadcast from the dressing room then, for the grand finale, donned my homemade hazmat suit for some protected audience interaction.

I've been keeping a secret from you. The special guest for tomorrow night's Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret is the multi-talented and ambidexterously-amazing Snow Circus!

Plus a special feature appearance from James Jordan Magician, Comedian, Vaudevillian. Call it an early Black Friday special... two guest performers for the price of one!

There was a time when movie theatres would give air conditioning the top billing on their marquee. This week it seems appropriate to announce that Theatre 1308 will be delightfully cool and refreshing for Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret.

Finished packing up 100+ magic kits for a full day of classroom workshops tomorrow.

My interest in magic was sparked at a young age, and it truly changed my life. It's fun for everybody to try out, and for most it's a temporary curiosity, but I always hope there's that young "me" in the group, too.

The only failure is never trying.

Thrills and spills last night at Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret

I asked AI to give me a hand to point out this week's Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret is *SOLD OUT*. Something's out of touch with this image, but I just can't put my finger on it.

May the 15th be with you! Join the dark side as Wit & Wizardry - Comedy Magic Cabaret welcomes the Macabre Magic Show A Brush with Death as our special guests.

It'll be a fun night of weird magic... sometimes creepy, sometimes silly. I'll be there, too, and I'm about as spooky as Uncle Fester.
