Star of his own nightly Las Vegas show, and breakout talent of America’s Got Talent, Mr Piffles is now sharing the stage with Mr Piffles 2.0, a genetically identical doggy doppelganger, and starting next month they’re hitting the road across North America starting August 8.
The name of the tour is “It Cost $60,000 To Clone My Dog And Now I Need To Make The Money Back.”The IC$60,000TCMDANINTMTMB tour will showcase the impossible yet undeniable talents of telepathy between the two twins. It will also make you go “awwwww” a lot because they are super cute.
As Piff the Magic Dragon puts it, “Mr Piffles has earned the right to a royal retirement, and for the past ten years I’ve been looking for a replacement. I searched rescue shelters far and wide for a Chihuahua able to live up to the legacy. I needed a dog who could do card tricks, read minds, and withstand being shot out of a cannon nightly. After a decade of fruitless searching, I gave up and googled Barbara Streisand. For the very reasonable price of an Audi Q7, I now have the dog of my dreams. Again.”
In the glitz and glamor of the Las Vegas Strip, where the lights never dim and the excitement never wanes, there exists a performer unlike any other, Piff the Magic Dragon.
Known the world over as The Loser of America’s Got Talent, English-comedian Piff the Magic Dragon has won the hearts of America through his decade-long Las Vegas residency at The Flamingo and non-stop touring. The show is a masterful blend of stand-up comedy and jaw-dropping magic, all delivered with a touch of that dry, British wit. Each performance is unique, with Piff’s quick wit and improvisational skills ensuring that no two shows are ever the same. On May 17th 2024, Piff was named Magician of the Year, by the Academy of Magical Arts AKA The Magic Castle. Previous winners have included Penn & Teller, David Blaine and Siegfried & Roy. The winner of TBS’ Tournament of Laughs and voted Variety’s Top Ten Comics to Watch, Piff has played Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House and London Zoo. He was the first act to win Best Comedian, Best Magician, and Best Headliner at the Best of Las Vegas Awards.
He toured as a supporting act for Mumford and Sons and is the only reptile to appear on the cover of their Grammy award-winning album.
