Lying Cheating Bastard By James Galea & Nicholas Hammond Directed by Nicholas Hammond Presented by Soft Tread Enterprises QUT Gardens Theatre, Gardens Point, Brisbane If there was ever a show to prove wrong the stereotype that theatre is “boring”, this is it. A delicious blend of drama and magic was orchestrated to create an absorbing one man show – which was carried brilliantly by co-creator Galea. He may be a lying cheating bastard but he’s a very impressive bugger too! Well-known magician, James Galea, blew his audience away at Gardens Theatre with his card tricks and sharp acting performance. It’s a scrapbook-style life story of Australia’s most successful conman, with an extraordinary talent that includes lying to people with his words and gestures... By Kellie Scott.

Fantastic!

I saw this show in Melbourne - simply fantastic. A perfect blend of drama and magic, twists and turns. Much more than a magician, James is a consummate performer. A definite must see.
