From humble beginnings nearly 50 years ago busking on the streets of Philadelphia to acclaimed sold-out runs on Broadway, to the longest-running, and one of the most-beloved resident headline acts in Las Vegas history, magic’s legendary duo – Penn Jillette and Teller – continue to defy labels, and at times physics and good taste, by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy.
Returning to QPAC after their eagerly anticipated first ever tour down under in 2022, Penn & Teller will start the second half of their century together – their 50th anniversary – in Australia in 2025 with a suite of brand-new mind-bending tricks.
Penn & Teller’s off-Broadway debut in 1985 electrified New York with a stage show the likes of which had never been seen, combining magic, comedy and social commentary in a theatrical event the New York Times said was a “Witheringly funny...Brazen assault on the temple of magic.”
Performing nearly 300 live shows every year from the stages of America’s greatest performing arts venues to the Sydney Opera House and London’s Apollo Theatre, their record-breaking Las Vegas show at The Rio Hotel & Casino has an amazing nine wins as “Las Vegas Magicians of the Year” and was called “The single best show in Vegas,” by the Los Angeles Times.
