Christmas is getting a whole lot more magical this year!
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that The Big Christmas Show is coming to both Edinburgh and Glasgow this December, as part of Edinburgh's Christmas and FrostFyr Fest.
And this isn't just another Christmas show. Created by the team behind the hit five-star Fringe production Insane Magic, this is a fast-paced, high-energy festive spectacular packed with jaw-dropping magic, world-class circus, outrageous characters and plenty of Christmas chaos.
Even better? I'm not just performing in it. I'm producing the show through my company, Insane Productions Ltd, alongside a ridiculously talented cast of performers.
We've been working hard to bring something genuinely special to Scotland this Christmas, and I cannot wait for audiences to see it.
What is The Big Christmas Show?
Imagine the magic of Christmas turned up to eleven.
The Big Christmas Show is an hour of spectacular live entertainment featuring incredible illusions, astonishing circus skills, comedy, larger-than-life characters and festive mayhem from beginning to end.
It's designed to keep the whole family entertained, whether you're a lifelong magic fan, a circus enthusiast or simply looking for something brilliant to do together this Christmas.
And with a cast full of world-class talent, there's never a dull moment.
The show features:
Luke Osey - The Trickster: Your mischievous host, keeping the chaos firmly under control. Well, almost.
Cameron Gibson - Insane Magician: That's me! Expect impossible magic, surprises and moments that will leave you wondering how on earth that just happened.
Lily Phoenix - Queen of Hoops: Bringing extraordinary circus skills, mesmerising movement and seriously impressive hoop artistry.
Snookie Mono - Renowned Troublemaker: Adding a healthy dose of mischief, mayhem and unpredictable fun.
Together, we're bringing a festive spectacular to Edinburgh and Glasgow that's packed with personality, surprises and the kind of entertainment that gets the whole audience involved.
Expect the unexpected. Christmas will never look quite the same again.
From the creators of the five-star hit Insane Magic
If you've been to see 1 Hour Of Insane Magic at the Edinburgh Fringe, you'll already know the sort of energy we love bringing to a stage.
Our Fringe show has built a reputation for combining incredible magic with comedy, big personalities and spectacular moments - and we've taken that same spirit into The Big Christmas Show.
As producer with Insane Productions Ltd, I've been working to bring together the performers, creative ideas and production that make this show such an exciting project.
We're an Edinburgh-based production company, and creating ambitious live entertainment here in Scotland is something I'm incredibly passionate about.
The Big Christmas Show gives us the chance to take everything we love about producing live magic and variety entertainment and wrap it all up in a huge, festive package.
And, naturally, we've made sure there's plenty of room for things to go gloriously wrong.
It's Christmas, after all.

A Christmas show for the whole family
One of the things I love most about live magic and circus is that it brings people together.
You don't need to know anything about magic. You don't need to be a circus expert. And you definitely don't need to be a certain age to enjoy it.
The best moments are when an entire audience reacts at once — when children are wide-eyed, adults are laughing and everyone is trying to work out how something impossible just happened.
That's what we're aiming for with The Big Christmas Show.
An hour away from the usual Christmas rush. An hour of laughter, spectacle, surprises and shared memories. An hour where anything can happen.
And with a cast like this, it almost certainly will.
