Building on the success of last year’s incredibly well-supported online show, Taylor will once again present the Stars of Comedy and Magic live from the College of Magic – giving fans a virtual peek behind the curtains and doors of the organisation’s beguiling Victorian Manor before introducing the stellar line-up for the night.
Joining together to dazzle audiences all over the world virtually with their sharp wit and captivating magic are:

Taylor, a College of Magic alumni and board member is thrilled to present the Stars of Comedy and Magic show once again:
“The pandemic has been rough and I can’t think of a better way to lift our collective spirits than with a fun and entertaining evening of comedy and magic! The best part is that you can enjoy it all from the comfort of your home while supporting a great cause: the College of Magic’s outreach Magic in the Community programme. This deserving project gives hope to children who may otherwise have had little or no opportunities for success by teaching them entertainment skills and providing them with vital life skills.
