Sell-out magic show The Wonder Room returns to hidden theatre in voco Grand Central Hotel

A sell-out magic show is returning for another run at the voco Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow.

Ryan Davidson’s one-man performance of The Wonder Room will be held at the venue on Friday nights throughout the rest of August and September.

Since its premiere in September 2023, it has sold out every week.

Described as “intimate and immersive close-up magic”, everyone in attendance is a participant in the 90-minute show rather than a spectator.

The magic takes place in a secret, purpose-designed theatre hidden within the hotel on Gordon Street at Glasgow Central Station.

No stranger to magical guests, the hotel has welcomed some of the world’s most famous entertainers from Roy Rodgers to The Beatles.

Launching the latest run of the Wonder Room, Ryan, who writes and performs the show and is renowned for a blend of magic and storytelling, said: “It’s an honour to be in residence with this show in such an iconic venue in Glasgow. It’s been great fun so far.

“We’ve hosted almost 40 shows since we launched, which have mostly sold through word of mouth. The themes in the show seem to be really connecting with everyone.

“I want each guest to leave feeling like they’ve experienced something truly special and unforgettable and the feedback we’ve had so far has reflected that.”

David Russell, director of sales and commercial at voco Grand Central Glasgow and its sister hotel Kimpton Blythswood Square, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Ryan back to the hotel for more of his incredible Wonder Room – it’s a truly magical experience that never fails to amaze.

“I truly believe guests will not be disappointed – all of which will also receive the warm voco Grand Central welcome that it’s known and famed for.”
