& Leroy the talking dog
The Man who was Magic
Tony Baloney Puppet Theatre present a one-man panto with a cast of many.
As a child my favourite book was the Paul Gallico classic The Man who was Magic. The story of Adam the Simple and his quest for the city of Mageia, a few miles east of west and just beyond the boundaries of time, inspired me to be the performer I am today.
It also inspired this show.
For seventy minutes we enjoy a complete break from reality, as we go on a wonderful journey where the magic is real. Along the way we meet a talking dog, a walking puppet booth, a pixie taxi, and a nervous rabbit. Suitable for ages four to ten, the show mixes magic, puppets and storytelling, with plenty of laughs.
“Showing a flair for spooky storytelling and Dr Suess style rhyming, he dazzled with his verbal dexterity.” Rubber Chicken Magazine
