Penn & Teller On Tour

Not exactly comedians but more than just magicians, Penn & Teller bring a quirky combination of laughs and illusions to every performance. You're ready to laugh before they even trot out their tricks, with the big, brash Penn Jillette towering over his staid, unspeaking partner Teller. And once they dip into the bag of tricks they've been perfecting since the 1970s, you're simultaneously dazzled and delighted. Whether they're working with things like magic bullets, nail guns, and straitjackets, or just employing a seemingly ordinary deck of cards to demonstrate some sleight of hand, the duo can make you doubt your own senses as they appear to make the impossible happen right before your eyes. Sometimes they toss a touch of danger into the mix, and sometimes they simply play the whole thing for laughs, but whatever illusion they're unveiling, Penn & Teller can always pull it off.

Penn & Teller Background

America's most famous magic/comedy duo actually started out as a trio in the '70s, but when third member Weir Chrisemer left in 1981, Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller (who has always gone by just his surname) continued on together, and it was then that their star began to rise. With TV appearances on such shows as Late Night With David Letterman and Saturday Night Live, a series of Broadway shows, and their own Emmy-winning special on PBS, Penn & Teller carved out a niche in show business and became household names in the process. In the years that followed, they became TV personalities in their own right, first with a Showtime series and then with Fool Us on the CW. They've earned their own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. They've appeared in music videos by Run-DMC and Katy Perry. They've established a record-breaking residency in Las Vegas. And throughout all of these accomplishments, Penn & Teller have shown that a big, loud guy and a small, silent guy can make people gasp and guffaw at the same time.

    Great show

    by Gnat on 3/14/24Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    I enjoy the magic Penn and Teller bring! I still can’t figure out how they do it and we were in the fifth row. I also enjoy their interaction with the audience. A great way to spend a birthday!

    One and done

    by Kristin on 3/12/24Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Fun for the family but not for a date night in your 30’s. The Rio environment was also a buzz kill, old, run down and wouldn’t want to go back. The show was fine but I have seen some of those magic tricks before.

    Vegas just for penn and teller

    by Emily on 3/11/24Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    My boyfriend has really wanted to see Penn and Teller since him and his Dad have always loved them. We are from the east coast and they did a stint in Boston but we missed it so I surprised him with tickets to the Vegas show for March. He’s been to Vegas and I have not so we made a little trip out of it. Honestly, Vegas was overhyped and I didn’t love it but seeing Penn and Teller was the highlight of the trip. I was so impressed with the audience interaction and just how fun it was. Thank you for the laughs and magic.

    by Rosie on 3/11/24Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    We took our 6 year old who has been watching Fool Us for years and the show did not disappoint. Penn & Teller are true entertainers and we loved it. We even got to go on stage!

    Fantastic as Usual

    by Kimio on 3/10/24Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Penn and Teller are must see when you are in Vegas! Penn is hilarious and so quick witted and Teller is a fabulous magician. They are always working on new tricks so you can see them more than once and the show will be markedly dit. This show was the highlight of our Vegas trip.
