About Us
What is Pottervision?
Four performers are all set to recreate a Harry Potter movie but, when two of them drop out on the day (and take all the props and costumes with them), Tom and Lukas must go it alone and make do with the limited resources they have.
With DIY props, charity shop costumes and both performers having to play multiple characters, Pottervision is a wig-changing, wizard-impersonating, audience-immersing Ford Anglia ride through all the ridiculousness of that first magical movie.
What could possibly go wrong? There's only one way to find out! Come and see us at one of our upcoming shows. Appropriate for ages 16+, Pottervision is a fantastical spectacular for everyone from the most casual fan to the most avid squib.

"Has a lot going for him..he sidesteps the obvious and his jokes about sexism are worth a trip to see him alone"

“An insightful and funny gentleman, cleverly turning stock gags on their head to reflect a ‘woke’ view of a world that has slept in for too long.”
- The Skinny
