First gigs in 16 years

Comic magicians Penn & Teller are to perform their first British dates in 16 years.

The duo, who have appeared on everything from Friends to The Simpsons, will play five dates at London’s Hammersmith Apollo this summer.  

As well as their magic, which has given them a decade-long residency in Las Vegas, Penn Jillette co-directed the 2005 comedy film The Aristocrats.

Tickets for the shows, which take place from July 14 to 18, go on sale at 9am on Friday, priced £29.50 to £42.50.
