There will be plenty of laughs when a well-known comedy magician visits Dorset.

John Archer will be performing at Dorchester Family Church on Saturday, March 16.

Visitors can expect a show of tricks, songs and laughs as he completes the next leg of his UK tour.

Mr Archer said: "I have been to and around Dorchester several times before and I've always had fun.

"I am always excited to get out of the house, but I do love the Dorchester are, much nicer to drive around than my countless journeys up and down the M1.

"Hopefully there will be lots of laughter and a smattering of bafflement."

Mr Archer was the first man to fool entertainers Penn and Teller in their Fool Us show on ITV, which was hosted by Jonathan Ross.

He is a past winner of ‘The Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year’ and has spent almost three decades entertaining audiences all over the world.

Tickets to his show cost £5 and are available from Dorchester Family Church.

Doors will open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
