Jon Plowman- Formerly Head of Comedy at the BBC, Producer of Ab Fab, Dibley etc…:
“The best illusion that the Illusion Brothers pulled off was that the illusion they were creating was easily created. In fact - be under no illusion about the skill, artistry and comic wit that went into all their work. I loved it. It was very funny.”
As The Illusion Brothers at the Edinburgh Festival and as one half of Blow Up Theatre with Dominic Burdess, we won a Total Theatre Award for Best Newcomers. We were lucky to work with and have Kathy Burke as the recorded voice of the Narrator. We performed several times at the Spiegeltent and were also invited to make a guest appearance on BBC 1’s “My Dad’s the Prime Minister”. Making a splash at the Edinburgh Festival is always challenging and The Scotsman’s review was a particular highlight for us.
