Penn's Sunday School

Penn takes questions from Patreon backers (patreon.com/penn) in a live Zoom hangout! Working with Jandro, bass fingers, the first time Penn performed without realizing he was on painkillers, who he thinks should star in a Penn & Teller biopic, and more.

Penn’s back hurts and it’s all community theater’s fault. Matt combines magic and improv at the Magic Castle, Penn & Teller are hard at work preparing 21 new tricks for the upcoming Season 11 of Fool Us, and congregation mail sparks a deep dive into ukulele tuning.

Sarah Lowe is in for Matt Donnelly, and Penn has questions. Sarah’s journey with Jersey Boys, their very different approaches to success and accomplishments, why Penn doesn’t “do” rehearsals (or rules), and the concept of getting more out of art than the artist put into it.

Penn has a cold and Matt is back from touring in Utah. Reminiscing about a Broadway schedule, the big Penn & Teller show is moving to 8 PM (show up at 7 for the jazz!), and Penn reveals his dream way to celebrate 50 years of Penn & Teller. Plus, it turns out Matt the Mind Noodler and Bob Dylan both take a similar approach to onstage introductions.

Join Penn as he recaps his misadventures in Atlantic City and Foxwoods, a culinary challenge at Hell's Kitchen, and insights into TV show dynamics, comedy banter, and shifts in political polarities. The podcast also explores the evolution of movie writing and upcoming events and sponsorships.

Piff The Magic Dragon is in for Matt Donnelly. Piff arrives wearing headphones and spends the entire episode trying to explain why. Piff's spending habits, drugs for surgery, intentional eating, putting new tricks into the show, and Piff presents Penn with a gift live on air.

Penn is joined by Matt, Paul, Jacob, Reddi, and a room full of Scoops live at The Orleans to talk marquees, riding an elephant, and celebrity impressions. Plus, a legendary rocker stops by the Penn & Teller show, and live audience Q&A yields some uncomfortable hilarity and magic advice.

Matt returns from a run of shows at his former improv theater and saw a weird movie on the plane, friend of the show Lawrence O'Donnell Jr. made the headlines with his self-described greatest accomplishment, and Penn recaps a night of great jazz and takes a deep dive into the all-natural pest control methods of one Reddi Rich.        

Piff The Magic Dragon fills in for Matt Donnelly. Piff has returned from an alternate reality to celebrate his new U.S. citizenship, brainstorm a brand new show for his upcoming tour, and try and convince Penn that he is in fact The Luckiest Dragon Alive.        

Penn has a solo speaking event in North Carolina, but will he and Glenn make it there? Mox and Matt are in studio as well and Mox poses a question from Fool Us reddit. Plus, a recent fooler really messes with the magic community.
