The comedy-magic duo will perform June 22 in Muriel Kauffman Theatre

Tickets on sale 4/6

Kansas City, MO – Comedy-magic duo Penn & Teller will close out the 2017-2018 Kauffman Center Presents season on June 22.

For more than 40 years Penn & Teller have defied labels – and at times physics and good taste – by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own niche in comedy. With sold-out runs on Broadway, Emmy Award-winning television specials, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and hundreds of TV appearances, comedy’s most enduring team shows no signs of slowing down.

Tickets for their June 22 performance go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, April 6. Tickets will be available through the Kauffman Center Box Office at (816) 994-7222, via the Kauffman Center mobile app, or online at www.kauffmancenter.org. Penn & Teller in Kansas City is generously supported by NetStandard.
