"The Magic Of Christmas Family Comedy Show" Starring Steve Taylor

**Kick Off the Holidays with the Perfect Family Comedy Event!** **Celebrate the season** at the Marie Hitchcock Balboa Park Puppet Theater with a magical premiere event the whole family will love. Magical ventriloquist and master marionettist Steve Taylor brings his Christmas-themed comedy spectacular, **The Magic of Christmas Show**, to the Marie Hitchcock Balboa Park Puppet Theater on Friday November 27 at 2 pm (only), plus November 28 and 29, 2026, with performances at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM each day. This festive 45-minute comedy show blends live **magic, ventriloquism**, and delightful **marionettes** to spark the wonder and excitement of the yuletide season. Bring the entire family and laugh until your cheeks hurt as Steve and his lively cast of puppet characters stumble through holiday “misadventures” while ringing in the happiest time of the year. Audiences will enjoy Rudy O’Riley, the quick-witted ventriloquist dummy, hilariously “fracturing” The Night Before Christmas, along with a comical Cast of Christmas Characters in a "Puppet Parade" featuring Steve’s magical marionettes — a juggling Santa, a water-squirting Rudolph, a floating Frosty, and three ballet-dancing Nutcrackers! Throughout the show, Steve’s signature, eye-popping holiday magic weaves seamlessly into the fun, complete with playful audience participation. And if the crowd truly "believes", there just might be a little “White Christmas” floating in the air inside the theater at the finale. Join us for this joyful Christmas carnival filled with pranks, puppets, and prestidigitation — and treat your family to a “wow-fully” entertaining holiday tradition that creates treasured family memories that'll last a lifetime!
