Ben McCarthy
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 sell-out season at the 2024 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
'A standout slice of silliness.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)
'Ben beguiled the audience into his world.' ★★★★ Hugging Comedians
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 show. So therefore yes, it is a magic show, they all are
Strictly for audiences 15+
