Comedy magic promised as Penn & Teller show star returns

Expect mind-bloggling tricks, witty banter and laughs aplenty at the 10 July show with Worthing's Matt's Comedy Club at the Connaught Studio, part of the 2014 Worthing Comedy Festival.

The town's family-friendly comedy club has another cracking line-up for the first of two July gigs.

Headline act is the extraordinary comedy magician John Archer, star of ITV's Fool Penn & Teller in 2011.

Always a popular draw, John has been carving a strong position in the comedy magic genre over many years, including a prized commendation from Derren Brown who booked him for a family celebration and called him "� brilliant, hysterically funny" and added "I'd recommend him unreservedly".

The former Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year has also worked closely with Tim Vine over the years, and Vine fans will know him well as 'Flag Hippo' from the punmeister's daft live shows. As if that wasn't commendation enough, he's also an actor, writer and skilled ukulele player.
