SUMMARY:Hellarious
DESCRIPTION:Hellarious Presents \nThe World’s Funniest & Bloodiest Magic Show\nStep right up to the most outrageously unholy comedy-horror spectacle ever to rise from the depths of hell (and Vegas). Hellarious follows Massacre Matthews—a murderous magician granted one final night to dazzle an audience before being dragged back to damnation. Alongside his unstable ex-assistants Bella and Jessie\, and under the watchful eye of Daytal the demon\, the stage erupts with twisted illusions\, blood-soaked magic\, and the kind of jokes you’d get fired for repeating. \nLeading the cast is the phenomenal Aaron Matthews\, one of Canada’s top illusionists. \nAttention: Please be advised that Hellarious incorporates mature content. We recommend you be over the age of 16 to experience all the laughter and macabre magic. Don’t miss out on this season’s most unforgettable Halloween experience!
