ABOUT THE SHOW

From humble beginnings 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 & 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.

Their record-breaking Las Vegas show at the Rio All-Suite 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.

The current hit series "PENN & TELLER: Fool Us!" for the CW Network, on which up-and-comers and magic veterans try to fool PENN & TELLER for a chance to star in the pair’s hit Las Vegas stage show, was nominated for a Critic’s Choice Award and will return for a 10th season. 

Hundreds of outrageous appearances on everything from "Fallon" to "Friends," "The Simpsons" to "Colbert," "Modern Family" to "Big Bang Theory," plus their own specials for NBC, ABC, PBS and Comedy Central have garnered them an Emmy and a Writers Guild Award. 

The duo has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

The controversial Showtime series, "PENN & TELLER: BS!" was nominated for 13 Emmys and was the longest-running series in the history of the network. The show highlighted the pair’s ardent skepticism by tackling the fakes and frauds behind such topics as alien abduction, psychics and bottled water.

In recent years they’ve become acclaimed documentarians with the BAFTA-nominated Sony Pictures Classic release, "Tim’s Vermeer," which follows Texas-based inventor Tim Jenison on his quest to discover the methods used by Dutch Master painter Johannes Vermeer. 

Their other films, the critically lauded feature "The Aristocrats" and the Showtime short "The Gambler’s Ballad," were met with wide praise.

The Olivier-nominated "Magic Goes Wrong," written and created in collaboration with Mischief Theatre (Creators of the Tony-nominated "The Play That Goes Wrong"), opened in January of last year at London’s West End Vaudeville Theatre, setting a box office pre-sale record. 

The Daily Mail hailed it as a “Spellbinding romp,” while the Sun theater critic raved, “I’ll be laughing into next week.” 

Don't miss this legendary duo when they stop at Boston's Shubert Theatre this December!
