Come and play with us on the shifting sands of perception: an hour of playful sleight of hand artistry and wonder with Stuart Lightbody... and all to raise money for the DLA Afrikaburn Theme Camp!

Including some of Stuart's favourite pieces from his one-man shows, and a few never-before-seen wonders, this will be an evening to remember.

Audience Responses

Phenomenal! Stuart, as always, effortlessly boggled our minds!

Great stage personality. Quick wit. Quicker hands. Leaves you with a sense of wonder... OK, perhaps that's just me... but certainly entertained!

It was a good entertaining show. However the seating was a bit cramped.

Stuart Lightbody was absolutely fantastic. His repertoire with the audience is amazing, as are his sleight-of-hand skills. He is a true genius at what he delivers, and he delivers a top-notch performance every time. It's a bit difficult to get a quick drink at the bar, but the service is always very friendly and inviting. The hostess greeted us with a beaming smile and started our evening with warmth and a relaxed demeanour. It is very, very warm within the bar area though. I hope my contributions are noted and that Lightbody remains a constant 'gig' at the Alexander Bar. Stuart Disco Barnard and Peter Otzen
