The year is almost over and what a year we’ve had… a BBC1 primetime series, a sell-out UK tour and our most sucessful Edinburgh Fringe to date!
2012 already looks equally as busy for us. “The Magicians” Series 2 begins LIVE on BBC1 on 7th January, we will be touring the UK with “Show and Tell” and we have a couple more surprises planned for all of you too.
First, meet Marley Fish.
I’ve been drawing on and off for a few years and always fancied making my own comic since I was a teenager, so, I have decided to put up a weekly strip inspired by my mental black cat. Expect some terrible jokes and equally as dodgy artwork every Monday. I won’t censor myself, I’ll aim to make the deadline even if I think the strip is a real stinker. It will be a welcome break from all the chaos of making magic.
Also coming your way very soon; more blog posts and behind-the-scenes peeks at what we are up to and a shiny new website!

Can’t wait for your new comic strips Barry. Is Stuart doing anything artistic? I’d love to see a drawing that he’s done. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Give Marley Fish a little treat from me!

Here is a tip for coming to the live shows… they give out more tickets than there are seats so arrive early to guarantee they don’t send you home.
Dec 24 2011 - 6:22 pm
Thanks for the tip! Been turned away from stuff before so will be totally getting there early!

Will there be anything hidden like the website before this one, you press all buttons (the loaf sandwich and tape etc) and it crashed. that was cool.

Barry (or anyone else going to The Magicians)-
how early is early?! Want to get in but don’t want to stand around for hours more than necessary….
Doors open at 5, do you think 3 is too early?

Hey Anna my buddy!
I will get there before that probs,I don’t want to not get in hah & I’m an eager beaver with a car full I don’t want to disappoint! : /
Anna Dec 30 2011 - 12:19 pm
Hi Sherlock!
I wish we were all going on the same date, then we could queue for hours whilst we have a chat!
Juliet Stafford Dec 30 2011 - 8:55 pm
Hi Guys,
What time is everyone going to arrive at the Studios on the day of the recordings? I’ve got a general idea but I don’t want to be too late and not be let in. I would look like a right Wally. I also don’t want to arrive too early otherwise I will be waiting there for hours. Can’t wait to come and see the show! See you then!

Well, Julie, my group are getting there for about three/half three so it’s not too early in my view at all! Just hope that not everyone will have that idea now! Darn it!!
