About Piff The Magic Dragon:
Piff the Magic Dragon has won over America since his breakout performances on America’s Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. While the billboard may call him “The Loser of America’s Got Talent,” Piff is anything but. Named one of Variety’s Top Ten Comics to Watch and crowned champion of TBS’ Tournament of Laughs, Piff made history as the first performer to win Best Comedian, Best Magician, and Best Headliner at the Best of Las Vegas Awards. For nearly a decade, Piff and his legendary co-star, Mr. Piffles—the World’s Only Magic Performing Chihuahua™—have headlined the iconic Flamingo Hotel and Casino, playing to over 500,000 guests.
Though Mr. Piffles recently passed after more than 5,000 unforgettable performances, his legacy lives on with Mr. Piffles 2.0, his equally magical successor. In addition to performing on stage, Piff recently released his first comedy special, Reptile Dysfunction, filmed at the Piff the Magic Dragon Theatre in Las Vegas.
