Josh Staley: Lie to Me | Adelaide Fringe 2026

Josh Staley Lie to Me

Josh Staley: Lie to Me is a must-see Adelaide Fringe 2026 magic and comedy show, delivering a slick, high-energy mix of modern illusion, sharp humour, and world-class showmanship.

Perfect for adults and older teens, this award-winning production cements Josh Staley’s reputation as one of Australia’s most skilled and entertaining magicians.

After sell-out seasons across Australia and internationally, and being crowned Australian Champion of Magic, Josh Staley returns with a show that asks one simple question: is magic just a lie? Lie to Me blurs the line between truth and deception as Josh combines jaw-dropping illusions, fast-paced comedy, and impossible moments that leave audiences laughing, amazed, and questioning everything they think they know.

This polished Fringe favourite has earned multiple major awards, including Comedy Event of the Year at Fringe World, Best Magic at Adelaide Fringe, and the Director’s Choice Award at the Melbourne Magic Festival. Critics consistently praise the show’s intelligence, humour, and technical brilliance, with five-star reviews declaring Josh Staley among Australia’s very best magicians.

If you’re looking for a top-tier magic show at Adelaide Fringe, an award-winning comedy experience, or unforgettable live entertainment in Rymill Park, Lie to Me is an essential addition to your Fringe schedule.
