2. David Williamson in: Ridiculous

David Williamson is generally regarded by magicians as one of the top performers in the world today. Known for his tours in “Circus 1903” and “The Illusionists”, David is creating a brand new solo full length magic production exclusive to the Rhapsody Theater. The subject of this show is an exploration of the word Ridiculous.

"Step into a world where comedy and magic collide, as the inimitable David Williamson takes center stage in his latest spectacle, 'Ridiculous.' Known for his uproarious antics and jaw-dropping illusions, Williamson has been hailed as a clown, magician, and even an anarchist. But this time, he's embracing the chaos with a show that encapsulates the whirlwind of hilarity and wonder that is his very existence. Prepare for an evening of relentless laughter, mind-bending tricks, and a dash of anarchy. ''Ridiculous' transcends the boundaries of a mere theatrical performance; it serves as a one-man rebellion against the monotony of a life too often bogged down by seriousness. This show is not just an escape, but a full-on revolt against the mundane, offering a sanctuary of laughter, wonder, and awe. Don't miss the chance to be part of this unforgettable experience!"
