Fake @ Whitehaven Library – Arts Out West

15th October 2026 7:00pm (Doors open at 6:30 pm)

Whitehaven Library

It's pretty, but is it art? Through magic, comedy and storytelling,Chris Cookshares the story of a faker so skilled he had to forge his way to freedom, an artist so talented he may himself be a fraud, a magician whose promise conceals a lie, and a mysterious figure who may not even exist. A story only a magician could tell. Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe 2025. 'A masterclass in storytelling' ***** (EdinburghReviews.co.uk). 'Fake is the show to see' ***** (WorldMagicReview.com). 'A true joy to watch' ***** (The Student).Please note: This performance takes place at Whitehaven LibraryBYOB is not allowed
