Halloween night. Two world-class
magicians. One chaotic, unrepeatable show.
If you’ve seen their
hit show "1 Hour of Insane Magic", you already know these two aren’t your
average magicians. They’ve taken their trademark chaos, razor-sharp
sleight of hand, and quick-fire comedy, and for one night only; twisted it
into something a little darker, a little cheekier, and a whole lot more
unpredictable.
Fast-paced, fearless magic made for a grown-up crowd
who want something different this Halloween.
It’s bold. It’s
ridiculous. It’s absolutely not for kids. And it’s happening for one
night only.
So grab a drink, grab your friends, and get ready
to find out whether the night holds a trick, a treat… or both.

Hot Comedy is a bold, inclusive comedy
compilation show in Edinburgh, hosted by Nicholas Elliott and Eva Peroni.
Known
for its diverse and supportive atmosphere, it showcases a mix of top
headliners and rising stars from all backgrounds. The show features Queer,
POC, Disabled, Female, Non-binary performers—and yes, even straight white
men—creating a line-up that genuinely reflects comedy's full spectrum.
Reviews
praise it as “a lovely supportive show” and “a defined space celebrating
voices.” But don’t expect anything preachy—Hot Comedy focuses on being
funny first, while making space for performers often sidelined in
traditional comedy circles. The show offers a culturally and physically
accessible environment for audiences who may feel excluded or targeted by
mainstream, edgelord-style humor.
It's a night where jokes don’t
come at the expense of identity, and where everyone, as long as they're
funny, gets a chance to shine. Expect the next generation of comedy talent.
