After beginning his career in his home country of Ireland, Colum Tyrrell moved to New York City and quickly became one of the fastest rising comics in the scene. He is a regular at The Comedy Cellar, The Stand Comedy Club and Stand-Up New York. A staple in the New York Comedy Podcast scene he can be heard on The Legion of Skanks, You Know What Dude, Are You Garbage? and Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast. He launched The Colum Tyrrell Podcast in 2022 which is growing to be one of the more popular shows in New York and he recently made his television debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. 

We all have dreams, but Sophie’s is more unique than most.  Our young bride-to-be is determined to discover the identity of her father before her big day, so she does what any curious individual would do and secretly invites all three of her possible dads to a sunny Greek island in hopes of uncovering the mystery.  Using the chart-topping songs of ABBA, this jukebox musical reminds us that friendships, understanding, and connections are what actually create a sense of belonging.  Join us as we explore the bond between a mother and a daughter as they navigate their way through personal growth and learn to cope with anything life throws at them.  It’s time to spend some “Money, Money, Money” so you can dance, jive, and have the time of your life.

Hidden Wonders is a speakeasy-style performance venue hidden behind a fake business facade in New Westminster’s historic downtown. It is part of a new trend in magic entertainment that focuses less on grand-scale illusions and more on intimate experiences that leave the audience awestruck and moved. Confirmed guests will only be given the address for the venue once their tickets have been purchased.

The seventy-five-minute magic experience features effects exclusively designed for the venue as well as several of the effects Shawn created to win the world championship and to fool Vegas’s Penn & Teller twice on their hit television show Fool Us.

The goal is to offer an intimate and exclusive up close and personal magic experience that is unparalleled. Hidden Wonders’ track record of continuously selling out shows is a positive indication that this trend is certain to continue as tickets are disappearing fast.
