Jarred Fell – 'Integrity”

'The perfect funny balm to an absolute stinker of a last year…'

Jam-packed with his unique rock ‘n roll style of laughs, wizardry, illusions & mind reading integrity is Jarred Fell's biggest stage show ever. It's also a heartwarming, bottoms up to 365 days of sobriety. Living a life with integrity, his new manly man mantra making him the most honest trickster around!

Ever wondered what it's like to go behind the scenes of a live magic gig, to try and crack the psychology behind the trickery? This show may well give you the chance! 'How the hell did he do that?” Prepare to be awestruck! (This lad hasn't held the coveted title of NZ's Best Comedy Magician for a decade for nothing. Not to mention last year's gong for Best Close-up Magician).

Prices for seats range from $15 to $50. The event is located at Baycourt Addison Theatre. Bookings are essential and can be done so here.
