Orlando: The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show

Tony Brent turns dinner into a full-contact comedy show, with magic tricks, impersonations, predictions, and audience members pulled into the act. The 60-minute performance is the main event, but the meal and drinks stretch the booking to about 90 minutes.

I like the combination of unlimited pizza and drinks with a show that keeps moving. I also like the small room, with only 125 seats, because it gives audience participation a real purpose instead of making you feel like a face in a giant theater.

The main caution is that the food is simple. Cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, dessert, and drinks make this a good-value dinner, but not a destination meal. One family also found the pizza less appealing for their children.

Key points to know before booking

• Tony Brent carries the entire show, switching between magic, impersonations, and quick improv.
• Audience participation is constant, so you may become part of a trick rather than simply watch from your table.
• Unlimited food and drinks are included, with cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, dessert, beer, wine, and soda.
• The show itself lasts about 60 minutes, while the full dinner experience lasts around 90 minutes.
• The room has only 125 seats, making the performance feel close and interactive.
• Look for the upside-down house at WonderWorks Orlando, and allow for parking fees at the Pointe Orlando garage.

A dinner show that puts you in the spotlight

Orlando has no shortage of dinner shows, but Outta Control takes a smaller, looser approach. You are not watching a large cast from a distant seat. Tony Brent is the one-man cast, and he fills the room with magic, impersonations, jokes, and fast audience interaction.

That format matters. The fun depends less on scenery or elaborate costumes and more on Brent’s ability to react to the people in front of him. He may read a mind, make a prediction come true, or make a personal item vanish and reappear. The supplied details do not promise that every person will be called on, but participation is a central part of the act, not a side feature.

The room holds just 125 people per show. That is small enough for the performer to work directly with the audience, while still large enough to create the shared energy you want from a comedy night. If you prefer to sit quietly and avoid attention, this may not be your ideal Orlando evening.

The show is performed in English, and the humor is designed for a broad age range. Families with children can attend, but adults should expect plenty of audience involvement and a lively pace rather than a quiet meal with entertainment in the background.

What happens during the 90-minute evening

The advertised experience lasts 1.5 hours, with the performance itself running for about 60 minutes. That distinction is useful when you are building an Orlando schedule. You are not signing up for a three-hour production, but you should still allow enough time to arrive, settle in, eat, and enjoy the show.

Food and drinks are served during the experience. The included meal consists of unlimited cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, and dessert. Beer, wine, and soda are also unlimited. Tableside service keeps the meal moving, and the food can be replenished during the evening.

You should think of the meal as practical fuel for the show rather than fine dining. The big value comes from having dinner and entertainment in one booking. If your group has a wide range of appetites, the unlimited setup removes much of the usual concern about ordering enough food.

The show portion is built around Tony Brent’s mix of magic, impersonations, and high-energy improv. The act includes mind reading, predictions, and tricks involving audience members’ belongings. These are the kinds of routines that work best when the room is engaged, so expect the pace to depend partly on how willing people are to play along.

The dinner and performance fit together well because the show is not a formal stage production that requires total silence. You can eat and drink while the entertainment continues, though you may want to pause when a trick is happening near your table.

Why the audience participation matters

The strongest reason to book this show is the chance to be involved. Many dinner shows offer a polished production that you watch from start to finish. Outta Control uses a different formula: the audience becomes part of the material.

That can mean a child helping with a trick, an adult answering questions, or someone’s personal item becoming part of a magic routine. You do not need professional acting skills, but you should be comfortable with a performer addressing the room and selecting people to join in.

The participation also gives the show a less predictable feel. A fixed stage production repeats the same scenes in the same order. Improv and audience interaction leave room for small changes from one evening to the next. That is a good fit if you enjoy comedy that feels quick and spontaneous.

It is less suitable if your group contains people who strongly dislike public attention. You can still enjoy the show from your table, but the format does not hide the fact that the audience is part of the act.

The small capacity helps here. With only 125 seats, Tony Brent can connect with the room instead of relying only on broad jokes and large stage effects. The performance is close enough to feel personal, which is one reason the magic and comedy work together.

Tony Brent’s one-man mix of magic and comedy

Tony Brent is asked to do a lot in one evening. He performs magic, impersonates recognizable figures, reads minds, makes predictions, and handles improvisation. There is no separate magician, comedian, and host dividing the work. The entire show depends on his timing and his ability to move quickly between styles.

That variety helps keep the hour from feeling repetitive. A magic-only show can become a string of similar tricks. A comedy-only show may depend heavily on the audience enjoying the performer’s particular style. Here, the act shifts between visual magic, spoken jokes, character work, and direct interaction.

The high-energy pace is worth noting. The description promises a joke or comic beat about every eight seconds. You should read that as a sign of a rapid, joke-heavy performance rather than a formal guarantee. This is not a slow magic demonstration with long explanations.

The show is also built to work for both adults and children. Families with ages ranging from seven to 72 have found the performance engaging, which gives you a useful sense of its broad appeal. The humor is not positioned as an adults-only act, and the experience includes children as active participants.

Still, family-friendly does not mean every child will love every part. One family enjoyed the evening but found the pizza was not a hit with their children. If food is the deciding factor for a picky eater, keep expectations modest and treat the show as the main attraction.

The pizza, salad, dessert, and drinks

At $39 per person, the included food and beverages are a major part of the value. You receive unlimited cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, dessert, beer, wine, and soda. For an evening meal in Orlando, adding unlimited drinks to a live show can make the price compare well with buying dinner and entertainment separately.

The menu is intentionally straightforward. Cheese and pepperoni pizza are easy choices for a family group, and salad gives you a lighter option. Dessert rounds out the meal, while beer and wine make the package useful for adults who want a drink with dinner.

I would not book this expecting a special culinary experience. The meal is there to keep you fed while Tony Brent keeps you laughing. The practical advantage is that you do not have to negotiate a separate restaurant booking before or after the show.

The unlimited service is especially helpful for groups with different appetites. You can take another slice or refresh your drink without calculating every extra charge. That makes the evening easier to manage, particularly when children are hungry at different times.

Service is part of the experience. Angelica received special praise for attentive service, and the evening includes tableside replenishment of food and drinks. Service can always vary by night, but the setup is designed to keep the meal flowing rather than make you leave your seat repeatedly.

Children age three and under still need a ticket to enter, even though admission is free. That is an easy detail to miss when planning a family booking, so check the ticket requirements carefully for your youngest children.

Finding WonderWorks and handling the parking

The meeting point is easy to identify: look for the upside-down house. The venue is WonderWorks Orlando, at Pointe Orlando, a busy entertainment area on International Drive.

Parking is available in the Pointe Orlando parking garage. The stated fee is $5 for the first hour, then $2 for each additional hour, with a maximum of $10 per day. Include that cost when you compare the $39 ticket with other evening plans.

The upside-down building is a useful landmark, but allow time to find the garage, park, and walk to the venue. The activity is usually offered in the evening, so it can work well after a day at another Orlando attraction.

You do not need to plan transportation as part of the show itself. The experience is based at WonderWorks, and the ticket information does not include hotel pickup or a shuttle. If you are staying elsewhere, arrange your own way to Pointe Orlando.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. You should still include any access needs when making your booking so the staff can help with seating arrangements.

Who will enjoy this show most

I would recommend Outta Control most strongly to these groups:

• Families who want one activity suitable for children and adults
• Couples who prefer comedy and interaction over a formal stage production
• Groups looking for dinner and entertainment in one package
• Visitors who enjoy being part of a magic trick
• Anyone who likes quick improv and audience involvement

The show works particularly well when people in your group have different ideas about what counts as fun. One person can focus on the magic, another on the comedy, and children can watch for the next audience member to join the act.

It is not the best fit for every evening. If you want a quiet dinner, a serious theater production, or a menu with several choices, you may prefer a different Orlando option. The meal is limited to the listed pizza, salad, dessert, beer, wine, and soda, and the comedy depends on a willingness to participate.

It is also worth considering your group’s tolerance for attention. The audience is not passive. Even if you are never chosen, you will watch other people become part of the act, and the performer may address the room directly.

Is $39 a good value?

At $39 per person, the ticket offers more than a one-hour comedy performance. You receive a 90-minute evening with unlimited food and drinks, plus a live magic and comedy show. That package can be a sensible choice in Orlando, where separate dinner, beverages, and entertainment can quickly cost more.

The value is strongest if you plan to eat a full meal and take advantage of the included drinks. It is weaker if you are a light eater, do not drink the included beverages, or mainly want a polished magic show without a dinner component.

The small room adds value in a different way. You are paying for direct interaction and a close-up feel, not a giant production with elaborate sets. If Tony Brent’s style suits your group, the format can feel more personal than a large theatrical dinner show.

The 4.3 rating from 109 reviews also gives the experience a solid, though not perfect, track record. The most consistent praise centers on the funny performer, family appeal, audience participation, plentiful food, and attentive service. The clearest reservation is the basic pizza, especially for children with narrow food preferences.

Practical booking advice

Reserve ahead if your dates are fixed. The room has only 125 seats per show, and the format works partly because it stays small. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund, and the reserve-now, pay-later option helps if your Orlando schedule is still changing.

Bring a passport or ID card. The host or greeter speaks English, and the activity itself is conducted in English.

Plan for the full 1.5 hours, even though the actual show lasts about an hour. Arriving with enough time to park and find the upside-down house will make the evening calmer, especially if you are bringing children.

Do not book this as a quiet meal with a little background entertainment. Book it because you want Tony Brent’s magic, quick comedy, and audience participation to be the center of the night.

Should you book Outta Control?

Yes, if you want an easy family evening that combines dinner, drinks, magic, and comedy at a reasonable price. The strongest parts are the small room, the constant audience involvement, and Tony Brent’s ability to shift between magic, impersonations, and improv.

I would be more cautious if your group expects restaurant-quality food or dislikes being addressed during a performance. The menu is simple, and the show asks you to accept some public participation.

For most families, mixed-age groups, and couples who like lively comedy, the $39 package is a fair deal. Come for the show first, treat the pizza as a generous extra, and you will have the right expectations.
