Capturing the Magic
October 6, 2026
Max Fulham
One of the world’s leading ventriloquists is coming to SLMS.
This October we are delighted to welcome Max Fulham, one of the world’s leading ventriloquists, to lecture at South London Magic Society.
Max has been performing professionally since his teenage years, combining razor-sharp ventriloquism, puppetry, stand-up and quick improvisation. His work has taken him from comedy clubs and theatres to television, international performances and specialist ventriloquism conventions.
His television appearances include Game of Talents, Crackerjack! and Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable. In 2025 his Edinburgh Fringe debut, Max Fulham: Full of Ham, enjoyed a sell-out run, and he has also been invited to perform, lecture and lead workshops internationally, including at the Vent Haven Ventriloquist Convention in the United States.
So when a ventriloquist of Max’s calibre comes to SLMS, a normal photograph felt a little too ordinary…
