Piff the Magic Dragon, the standout star of NBC’s America’s Got Talent and Penn &
Teller: Fool Us, brings his one-of-a-kind comedy magic show to Segerstrom Center for the Arts September
27 and 28 in the Samueli Theater for four performances.
After achieving national acclaim on television, Piff
The Magic Dragon continues to win audiences across the globe with his magical mixture of wizardry, wit, and
sarcasm. Recently named one of the 10 Comics to Watch in 2019 by Variety, Piff is accompanied by his
trusty sidekick Mr. Piffles – The World’s Only Magic Performing Chihuahua™. The dynamic duo bring laughs
and illusions to Orange County for two nights of unforgettable comedy.
Single tickets start at $39 and are available now online at www.SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town
Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787.
Piff and Mr. Piffles perform nightly to sold-out audiences at the newly named Piff the Magic Dragon Theatre
at the world-famous Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas. Although Piff might not be as famous as his older
brother — Steve — there’s no doubt the recent years following his loss on season 10 of American’s Got
Talent has been monumental for the act, voted Best Comedian in 2018 Best of Las Vegas Awards.
His Las Vegas residency at the Flamingo has rightly earned its reputation as one of the city’s most sought-after
shows with a recent addition of a second performance each night due to high demand. Piff and Mr. Piffles
have performed to hundreds of thousands in some of the most iconic venues across the globe including
Radio City Music Hall, Shakespeare’s Globe, the O2, and the Sydney Opera House.
In 2018, Piff filmed his first one-hour special featuring his good friend, Penn Jillette, and performed his acclaimed show at the 2018
Just For Laughs in Montreal and at the William H. Macy Gala. Piff, along with Jade Simone, a genuine Las
Vegas showgirl, are currently performing across the US and Canada in their 2019 tour, The Lucky Dragon.
Previously, Piff opened for Mumford & Sons on their 17 date UK tour and even graced the cover of their
Grammy ® Award-winning album Babel. He also performed five record-breaking runs at the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, had two sellout seasons at Soho Theatre in London’s West End and completed a national tour of
the UK and Australia.
