Author, comedian and Terry Pratchett fan Marc Burrows brings his acclaimed multimedia show The Magic of Terry Pratchett to London’s Duchess Theatre for a unique one-off performance on Sunday 28 April 2025 – what would have been Terry’s 77th birthday.
This special evening will include an in-depth discussion with very special guests, including Sir Terry’s daughter Rihanna Pratchett, Pratchett fan, comedian and podcaster Dan Schreiber (No Such Thing As A Fish, The Cryptid Factor) and a secret special guest (another key figure from Sir Terry’s life and legacy).
Part stand-up, part lecture, The Magic of Terry Pratchett is a funny and heartfelt celebration of the award-winning author and his extraordinary impact on storytelling, adapted from Marc’s Locus Award-winning biography of the same name. Developed with the support and endorsement of Narrativia – the company founded to protect and promote Sir Terry’s work – the show debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 and has since sold over 15,000 tickets across the UK and internationally, including a recent run in Australia.
The London performance will be presented in two acts:
Act One: The original 1-hour touring show as performed at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, exploring Pratchett’s life, work, and influence through comedy, storytelling and licensed media.
Act Two: A live on-stage conversation between Marc, Rihanna Pratchett, Dan Schreiber and one other special guest, reflecting on Pratchett’s legacy and the continued resonance of the Discworld universe.
Having sold over 100 million copies worldwide and with his works translated into 40 languages and performed on seven continents, Sir Terry Pratchett OBE is one of the world’s most widely read authors. Conventions dedicated to his work are held globally every year and John Lloyd was right when he said “of all of the dead authors in the world, Terry Pratchett is the most alive”.
