Penn Jillette Announces UK Tour with Piff the Magic Dragon: A Magical Reunion!

Penn Jillette Takes the Stage in the UK – Without Teller!

Comedy and magic enthusiasts, brace yourselves! Penn Jillette, famed half of the legendary duo Penn & Teller, is set to embark on his very first UK tour without his long-time partner, Teller. Joining him will be none other than Piff the Magic Dragon, in a show aptly titled Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe, scheduled for September 2026.

A Journey Through the UK

The tour kicks off at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on September 10, making its way to major cities including Cardiff, Brighton, London, Birmingham, Manchester, York, Newcastle, and Glasgow. Londoners can catch Piff returning to his roots for a one-night spectacle at Indigo at The O2 on September 15.

A Milestone for Jillette and Piff

This tour marks a significant milestone for Jillette, who has been instrumental in reshaping modern magic alongside Teller, with an impressive residency in Las Vegas that has captivated audiences since 2001. Recently, they were inducted into the Magic Circle, finally lifting a 50-year ban on their reputation for revealing magic secrets.

Piff's Return to His Roots

Piff, the man behind the dragon persona, is also making a grand return to the UK after over a decade. Known for his unique blend of deadpan humour and quirky tricks—often accompanied by his magic-performing Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles—he's excited to bring his act back home.

A Magical Collaboration

The pair's new show will feature solo acts followed by a joint finale that promises a delightful mix of high-level magic and cheeky comedy. Jillette expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "Piff the Magic Dragon grabbed me right away—perfect magic, funny, and totally original." Piff chimed in, noting, "This will be a father and son bonding trip for the ages!"
