About Young & Strange

Award-winning comedy illusion duo Young & Strange are childhood friends Richard Young and Sam Strange, who since 2013 have headlined Champions of Magic, the world's largest international touring magic show, in theatres and arenas worldwide. The Magic Circle of London presented them with the Carlton Comedy Award.

Their act is built on large-scale stage illusions, pyrotechnics and high production values, with comedy woven through the special effects and a narrative of rivalry between two ambitious underdogs. Honed over four consecutive Edinburgh Fringes, it has also played London's West End in Wonderville at The Palace Theatre on Shaftsbury Avenue, to rave reviews from the national press. Television credits include America's Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and the pair also perform at corporate events.
