Magic enthusiasts and comedy fans can look forward to a groundbreaking collaboration as Penn Jillette and Piff the Magic Dragon prepare to join forces in the “Penn & Piff Magic Adventure” UK tour scheduled for September 2026. The unique production will make its London stop at Indigo at The O2 on September 15, marking Piff’s first hometown UK performance in over a decade since his relocation to Las Vegas.
The show features an innovative two-act structure, with Penn Jillette and Piff the Magic Dragon each delivering solo performances in the first act, followed by a collaborative duo finale in the second act. Audiences can expect a blend of Penn’s masterful storytelling and sleight-of-hand tricks alongside Piff’s eccentric, character-driven comedy magic.
Mr. Piffles, billed as “the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua,” will join the performers on stage as part of Piff’s routine. The production emphasizes spectacle, with promotional materials highlighting jaw-dropping illusions and a showstopper finale that promises to leave audiences amazed.

This tour represents the first time Penn Jillette, known for his work with Penn & Teller, and John van der Put, who performs as Piff the Magic Dragon, have paired up for a UK production. Both performers are celebrated for their Vegas veteran status, bringing decades of performance experience to this exciting collaboration. Both performers bring their established personas to the collaboration, with Penn’s sharp storytelling contrasting with Piff’s offbeat dragon comedy.
The nine-date UK tour will visit multiple cities including Bournemouth, Cardiff, and Brighton. Ticket sales will be organized in phases, with pre-sale and general sale windows specified for 2025. The production targets both adults and families seeking comedy-magic entertainment, along with existing fans of both performers.
Marketing for the show emphasizes the novelty of Penn touring without his longtime partner Teller and highlights Piff’s return to his UK roots. Tickets range from £34.90 to £113.02 with an additional transaction fee of up to £3.95 per ticket. The tour kicks off at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on September 10, 2026. The London engagement is positioned as “event theatre” rather than a small club show, leveraging both performers’ recognition from television appearances and Las Vegas residencies to drive ticket demand.
