Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer said:  “We could not be more excited for Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle to be appearing in the West End this Spring. Touring the UK with this show in early 2023 was an absolute joy and we’re so looking forward to bringing it to new audiences.

Join ‘The Mind Mangler’ as he attempts a spectacular return to his West End debut two man solo show.   Witness hilarious feats of mentalism spiral into chaos as he attempts to read your mind, mind mind….
