A great performer and storyteller clearly in her element. She makes you feel so comfortable and joyous as she takes you in a wild ride with her stories. Fun card magic and stunning extravagnat outfit. Come for the sailboat hat, stay for the story of a seal magician and buttocks-slapping act.

The tallest of tall tales, magic and whimsy. I do still miss the squirrel from last year’s show

If you want to laugh uproariously, be captivated by imaginative and whimsical story telling and be mesmerised by whale magic, see this show. A complete and utter joy. Ada has once again created a show that leaves you feeling there really is still joy and wonder in the art of story telling and asking yourself 'how did she do that?!' with her fantastic magical trickery. I can't rave evnough. Thank you Ada x

If you only get to one show then this is the one, an hour of pure entertainment for everyone. Been going to see Ada for the last 3 years and have always come out having throughly enjoyed myself

If you've never seen Ada, you've seriously missed out. A world class magician with a penchant for VERY tall tales, delightful whimsy, frequent silliness and the occasional terrible pun, Ada Campe is the happiness that the world could use so much more of.

Ada Campe’s Navel Gazing was a pure delight! Ada has the moxie of old school vaudeville performers, sparked joy in her audience and left us wanting more. I’ll never miss another show by this consummate actor with a deft touch.
