Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle London Tickets

Get ready for some serious, mind-bending silliness from the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong! Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out UK tour, the Mind Mangler will make his West End premiere this Spring. Prepare to be amazed as the self-professed mentalist attempts to read your mind, (with varying degrees of (un)success!) Playing for a strictly limited run, book your tickets for Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle at the Apollo Theatre today.

About Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle London

This wannabe warlock is more clown than Brown as he confidently, and unsuccessfully, tries to read people’s minds. Following a memorable two-night run at suite 2b in the Luton Holiday Inn conference centre, the Mind Mangler is back on stage and as determined to make his name (for the right reasons this time). With dodgy technical equipment, and even dodgier routines, his two-man solo show will leave you gasping for breath as chaos descends. Witness the collapse of the egotistical Mind Mangler’s stage routine as he is joined on his ill-fated journey by his trusty sidekick, and very real audience member, The Stooge!

Very funny, entertaining.

Helen Watson

We got last minute reduced price tickets so excellent value. Would have paid full price, it was so funny. Lots of fun and good tricks too. Strongly reccomend

Phil

Brilliant go and see it.

Doris Elizabeth Sarah Philips

Great afternoon - absorbed both granddaughters - aged 13 and 8. I enjoyed the repartee and watching the guys work the audience which I have been them do before. Thank you

A funny show. A mixture of magic, comedy and pantomime (with children in the audience). We had great seats in the stalls in rowT.

Nettie

We enjoyed the show but there were times when the main characters buffoonery became a little boring. However once it all got going with interaction it was wonderful. One little warning we noted that there were some very young children in the audience. Maybe a warning that strong language is used throughout the show would be advisable. Just so parents have a choice. But a wonderful time was had and we would certainly recommend.

Corinna Schell

Just cringeworthy and lacklustre - glad I didn’t buy the more expensive tickets. Maybe because it was towards the end of the run of the show it really felt that there was no real soul/ energy to the show. We liked the ply that goes wrong but this sadly didn’t hit the same spot.

GL

Absolutely brilliant night out. Did not stop laughing. I am not a fan of magic shows but this was a genuinely funny send up of the whole genre. Brilliantly done with some hilarious audience participation.

Husna

It was very, very good! lots of laugh out loud moments! I would definitely recommend as a must see.

James M

Fantastic

Sofia Gueorgieva

Very funny indeed (even if I suspect it was 100% orchestrated, with the notable exception when interrupted by small children in the audience). On the very pricey side however even after a last-minute discount.

Steve Bloom

Brilliant. Absolutely loved it. Laughed throughout the performance. We wish we had seen it earlier in it's run so we could have recommended it to our friends who we know would also have really enjoyed it.
