Mischief & Magic Show | Get Your Coats On

“The duo’s caustic stage partnership has notes of Martin and Lewis at their most dysfunctional.”

Krisgar is one of Bedford’s best best-known and best-loved children’s entertainers and there’s a reason – he’s really good. There’s a big crowd in this afternoon and for all the noise and barely stifled chaos, a loud buzz of excited expectation. Within moments of taking the stage, our attention is rapt like a gift going through Rowan Atkinson’s bit in ‘Love Actually’ when Alan Rickman’s in a hurry. Krisgar’s commanding onstage presence a product of his comic rapport with the irreplaceable Tricky Teddy. The duo’s caustic stage partnership has notes of Martin and Lewis at their most dysfunctional.

At 7 years, Daughter 2.0 is not at all too auld for this level of properly funny silliness. In her notebook, the one with Wizbit on the cover what I paid crazy money for on eBay, she wrote: “Tricky teedys mischief and magic show was really funny. when I walked in I saw a chair on the stage and I heard loud music. I saw a table for mdgice tricks and comedy. And during the show I saw a puppet which was a teedy and I saw a magic magishon. My favroute bit was when they tried to make cake but didn’t have the ingediants. The part which made me laugh the loudest was when the puppet said we are here for the cash! I hope I remember the part when they did tricks forever.”
