Penn & Teller, the legendary duo who have been redefining magic and comedy for five decades, have just announced something truly historic. For the first time ever, they’re heading to London’s West End with an 11-date residency at The London Palladium in September 2025. Here are five things you need to know about this unmissable event.

1. Their First Ever West End Run

Despite performing around the globe and holding the record for the longest-running headline act in Las Vegas, Penn & Teller have never before played the West End. This 11-night residency marks a milestone in their 50-year career – and where better than the world-famous London Palladium.

2. Celebrating 50 Years of Magic

The duo’s journey began on 19 August 1975, and since then, they’ve become household names. Their unique blend of illusion and irreverent humour has made them icons of modern magic. This run celebrates half a century of pushing boundaries and making audiences question the impossible.

3. Expect New Tricks (and Mayhem)

This isn’t just a “greatest hits” show. Penn & Teller are promising incredible new material created especially for the anniversary. Fans can expect mind-bending illusions, unexpected twists, and the trademark comic flair that has made them so unforgettable.

4. Global Legends With Serious Credentials

From Emmy-winning TV specials to their cult-hit series Penn & Teller: Fool Us, not to mention guest appearances on Friends, The Simpsons, and even The West Wing, the duo have left their mark on pop culture as much as the stage. Their Las Vegas residency remains a must-see, but now UK audiences get the rare chance to experience them live on home turf.

5. The Dates (and Where to Get Tickets)

The run begins on Saturday 13 September 2025 and finishes on Wednesday 24 September 2025, with performances nearly every night. Tickets are already on sale, and demand will be high. Secure your seats now via AEG Presents.
