From the creator of The Magic Room comes, a brand new solo show for 2026 - LOADING...
Now is the best time to do anything! Unless you’re waiting for it to load. So often we wait for the 'perfect' moment, but what if it never arrives? Through magic, mind-reading, storytelling, and comedy, LOADING... explores what happens when life buffers, and the unexpected ways it starts moving again.
So... join us for a relaxed evening of wonder and wit. Whether you’re a fan of jaw-dropping magic, unfathomable mind reading or just looking for a laugh, pull up a chair, grab a drink, and enjoy the show. No pressure - just turn up and enjoy.
