Mind Reader

Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2020 has been cancelled

It is with regret that we have taken the very difficult but ultimately inevitable decision to cancel the 2020 Norfolk & Norwich Festival.

With the rapidly escalating health-crisis and with the safety of our audiences, staff and artists at heart, we have taken the decision that it is impossible for us to deliver the Festival this May.

If you have booked a ticket for the Festival, you do not need to do anything. You are entitled to a refund and we will be in touch soon. Please bear with us during this difficult time. If you have the capacity to make a donation of part or all of your ticket value, we would be extremely grateful – it would help ensure we’re well-placed to support artists and be able to present future Festivals.

Having toured the UK, USA & Canada for the last five years with one of the world’s largest touring magic shows, Alex McAleer brings his Cabaret Award nominated solo show “Mind Reader” to venues across UK for the first time.

‘A sheer force of wit, charisma and style’ AVENOIR MAGAZINE

Honing his craft for over a decade, Alex has played to packed houses at Perth Fringe in Australia, taken the cabaret scene by storm, toured extensively with Champions of Magic and made countless television appearances around the world including NBC’s Access Hollywood and BBC’s Blue Peter.

★★★★ THE WEST AUSTRALIAN

During the show, the audience are invited on a journey through the inner-workings of the human mind, as Alex combines contemporary mind-reading with sharp wit and a flair for showmanship. He demonstrates why you should never play cards with a mind reader, shares his apparent telepathic gift with an audience member, and explores the possibilities of his exceptional people watching-skills. The show is interactive and engaging, funny and compelling, combining the stagecraft of a true showman and the sharply-honed skills of a ground-breaking mentalist.

‘Charismatic charm and devilish good looks… The best thing I’ve seen in theatre for a very long time. I could have watched this performer all night as his talent to entertain was enchanting and jaw-droppingly good.’ NORTH WEST END
