Penn and Teller
Society for the Performing Arts (SPA) is proud to present its season finale with Penn & Teller, who for more than 40 years have defied labels—and at times physics and good taste– by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy. With sold out runs on Broadway, world tours, Emmy-winning TV specials, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and hundreds of outrageous appearances on everything from Fallon to Friends, The Simpsons to Colbert, Modern Family to Top Chef, comedy’s most enduring team show no signs of slowing down.
With an amazing eight wins as “Las Vegas Magicians of the Year,” their 16-year run at The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino makes Penn & Teller the longest running and one of the most-beloved headline acts in Las Vegas history, outselling every other resident magician on The Strip. Their acclaimed Showtime series, Penn & Teller: BS! was nominated for 13 Emmys and was the longest-running series in the history of the network. The show tackled the fakes and frauds behind such topics as alien abduction, psychics and bottled water.
