Orlando: The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show

The trick at the heart of this evening is that you are not just watching Tony Brent perform. You may find yourself helping with a magic trick, lending a personal item to the act, or becoming part of an improvised joke. That makes this a livelier choice than a dinner where the audience stays politely in the dark.

I like two things in particular: the close, 125-seat room gives the show a more personal feel, and the unlimited food and drinks make the ticket price easier to weigh against a separate meal and evening entertainment. The mix of magic, impersonations and quick audience exchanges also gives families different ways to stay engaged.

One consideration: the event lasts 90 minutes, but the performance itself is about 60 minutes. The food is a simple pizza, salad and dessert spread, not a special-occasion restaurant menu, and audience participation is a central part of the fun. If you would rather stay out of the spotlight, this may not be your ideal night out.

The quick take

• Tony Brent is the one-man cast: He shifts among magic, impersonations and improvised comedy, so the show has more than one gear.
• You may become part of the act: Audience participation is built into the performance, including tricks involving personal items.
• The meal keeps coming: Cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad, dessert, beer, wine and soda are included without a set serving limit.
• Expect a 60-minute show inside a 90-minute evening: The full experience includes dinner service as well as the performance.
• The room is relatively small: There are about 125 seats per show, making this a more intimate setup than a large theater production.
• Plan for the Pointe Orlando garage: Parking is available there, with fees capped at $10 per day.

Finding the upside-down house

The meeting point is easy to spot: look for the upside-down house at WonderWorks Orlando. The unusual exterior gives you a clear landmark, especially if you are meeting family or friends nearby.

The show is in English, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. You will need a passport or ID card, so bring one rather than assuming your booking confirmation alone will be enough.

Parking is available at the Pointe Orlando garage. The stated rate is $5 for the first hour, then $2 for each additional hour, up to a maximum of $10 per day. That cap is useful if you are combining the show with another stop in the area, but allow a little time to park and find the entrance.

Dinner, then a show with no quiet audience

The Outta Control Dinner Show is built around participation, not a strict divide between performer and audience. Tony Brent works the room with magic, impersonations and high-energy improv. Minds are read, predictions come true, and personal items can disappear and reappear as part of the act.

That format is the main reason to choose this over a standard comedy show. You are not simply waiting for the next polished routine; Brent uses the room and the people in it. The result can feel spontaneous, though it also means you should be comfortable with the possibility of being noticed or asked to join in.

The room has about 125 seats per show. That scale helps the audience feel close to the performance, and it gives Brent a chance to interact with people around the room. It is not a stadium spectacle or a grand theatrical production. The appeal is the direct, compact format.

The performance is billed as suitable for all ages, and families with children have found the combination engaging. Adults can enjoy the comedy and magic on their own terms, while children may especially like the surprise of seeing audience members pulled into the act. If your child dislikes being singled out, prepare them for the fact that participation is part of the show, even though no one can promise exactly how it will happen.

Tony Brent’s mix of tricks and comedy

Brent is described as a one-man cast of dozens, a neat way to sum up a show that moves between impersonations, magic and comic improvisation. Rather than relying on a single style, he changes pace and character to keep the hour moving.

The magic supplies the moments of surprise. Mind-reading and predictions make the audience wonder how a trick will land, while vanishing and reappearing personal items bring the action close to the people in the room. The comedy gives those tricks a lighter frame, so this is not a solemn display of illusion.

Impersonations add another layer, though the exact people or characters he performs are not specified. If you are choosing this for a particular kind of comedy, keep expectations broad: the draw is the blend of comedy, magic and interaction, not a tightly defined theme or a single style of stand-up.

The show is described as high-energy, with frequent comic turns. That pace can be a plus if you want a lively family evening rather than a slow meal with a brief stage act afterward. It may be less appealing if you prefer comedy that is quiet, subtle or carefully detached from the audience.

What the 90 minutes include

The full experience lasts about 90 minutes, while the show itself lasts about 60 minutes. Think of it as dinner plus a performance, rather than a full 90 minutes of stage material. That distinction matters if you are planning the evening around other activities.

Tableside service includes unlimited cheese and pepperoni pizza, salad and dessert, along with unlimited beer, wine and soda. The food is replenished during the experience, and the service is part of the evening rather than a separate restaurant meal you need to arrange beforehand.

Unlimited servings are useful for families and anyone arriving hungry after a day out. You are not trying to divide one fixed plate among several people, and you do not need to guess whether a single serving will be enough. The menu is also straightforward, which helps keep dinner simple when you are traveling with children.

There is a tradeoff. The meal centers on pizza, salad and dessert, so it is best approached as casual show food. The pizza has suited many people, but tastes differ, and it is not a broad menu for someone seeking lots of choices. If your group has dietary needs or preferences beyond the listed food, the information here does not confirm alternatives, so check directly before booking.

Is $39 a sensible price?

At the stated price of $39 per person, you are paying for both the entertainment and unlimited food and drinks. That makes the experience easier to compare with an evening that combines a meal and a ticketed show. The value improves if you plan to eat and enjoy the included drinks, rather than treating the meal as an afterthought.

The strongest part of the value is the combination: a live 60-minute performance, a 90-minute visit overall, and unlimited servings of pizza, salad, dessert and drinks. The personal, interactive format also gives the show a different feel from watching a screen or sitting through a large production.

The price is less compelling if you mainly want a refined meal, a long theater performance, or a show where you can remain completely anonymous. You are buying a casual dinner and lively entertainment, not fine dining or a full evening of stage work.

Children aged 3 and under still need a ticket to enter, even though they are free. That is worth checking as you plan your booking, particularly if you are counting seats and tickets for a family group.

Who will enjoy this most

I would look first at this show for families who want an evening activity with enough variety to hold both adults and children. The magic gives younger audience members something visual to follow, while the comedy and impersonations give adults more to enjoy. Families with children from about age 7 have found the show engaging, though age suitability depends on the child.

It can also work well for couples or groups of friends who enjoy being part of the entertainment. If your group likes playful audience interaction and does not mind a bit of attention, the close seating and improv can make the evening feel more personal than a standard dinner out.

It is a weaker fit for people who strongly dislike being called on, want a quiet meal, or expect an elaborate menu. The show’s own format depends on audience participation, and the food is deliberately simple. Knowing those two things in advance is the best way to avoid a mismatch.

Practical details before you go

Shows are usually available in the evening, but the exact performance time is not specified here. The full experience is 1.5 hours, with roughly an hour devoted to the performance. If you have another reservation afterward, leave breathing room rather than assuming the show runs for exactly 60 minutes from start to finish.

The activity is wheelchair accessible, and English is the language used for the show. Bring a passport or ID card, and remember that children 3 and under need a ticket even though admission is free for them.

If you want flexibility, the booking terms allow you to reserve now and pay later. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Those options are handy when family plans may shift, but check the terms attached to your own booking before you finalize it.

Should you book the Outta Control Dinner Show?

Book it if you want an easy, family-friendly evening built around magic, comedy, audience participation and an uncomplicated meal. At $39 per person, unlimited food and drinks add practical value, and the smaller room gives Tony Brent a chance to bring the audience into the action.

Skip it if you want a quiet dinner, a gourmet menu, or a show that keeps the audience firmly in its seats. The best match is a group that enjoys a little unpredictability and is willing to trade restaurant polish for a lively hour of tricks, jokes and shared participation.
