Planning a night out in Orlando and looking for something different from the usual theme parks and busy attractions? The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show offers a lively, family-friendly evening packed with laughs, surprises, and tasty food—all set inside the fun environment of WonderWorks.
Based on reviews, this experience is a solid choice for those wanting a relaxed, entertaining night that combines humor and magic with good eats.
What we love about this show is the interactive nature—you’re encouraged to participate, which makes the experience more engaging—and the all-you-can-eat pizza and drinks, which keeps the mood casual and fun. On the flip side, a potential downside is that the food, while plentiful, isn’t gourmet—some reviewers mentioned the salad and pizza could be better.
We had so much fun, Matt was amazing, the food and our server was really good. It was a fun family experience
It was great and plenty of drinks and food served but was very confused at first as to where to go and where to park no instructions were given
The show was OK. We have a local magician where I live and many of the things that were done on stage were the same things done by our local magician, so it was hard for us to be impressed. The food on the other hand was not good. We had the pizza and it just wasn’t good quality. I also had wine, which also wasn’t great
Still, if you’re after a casual, entertaining night with a dose of magic, this show might just be what you’re looking for.
This experience fits best for families, groups of friends, or anyone who appreciates comedy mixed with magic in a relaxed setting. If you’re in Orlando for a few days and want a break from the theme parks, it’s worth considering—especially since the ticket includes more than just the show if you opt for upgrades.

The Itinerary in Detail
The main event is the 90-minute Outta Control Magic & Comedy Show. During this performance, you’ll be seated at your reserved spot and enjoy a lively, somewhat improvisational act. The performers are engaging, often involving the audience in magic tricks and humor that tends to be more family-friendly, but with some adult jokes sprinkled in.
The food served is pizza, salad, and popcorn, complemented by unlimited beer, wine, and soda. The reviews suggest the food is plentiful but not top-tier—some mention the pizza being underdone or the salad being basic, with others finding the overall quality acceptable for a casual night out. The service tends to be praised, with waitstaff attentive and quick to refill drinks or bring more food.
If you’re arriving early, getting there about 30 minutes before the show starts is advised to settle in and avoid missing any of the fun.
Audience Engagement and Atmosphere
Many reviews highlight how interactive the experience is. Audience participation is encouraged, with viewers often being called upon to help with magic tricks or jokes. This makes the show engaging for families and groups who enjoy being part of the action. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, great for those who want to enjoy comedy without the formality of a theater setting.
Great majic show, family friendly [young children aged 6 & 7] helped the majician to everyone's delight. Rather cheesy jokes in the most charming sense. I had two of my late teenaged children there and they liked it. Magic was good and you must listen carefully to the magician or you'll miss the clever humor. Food [pizza and salad] was not wonderful, but if you left hungry, it's your own fault. Salad was good, pizza was convenience-store quality, but edible. We bought tickets for the whole interactive museum, which I highly recommend. Lots of things for very young children as well as teens. Will this "knock your socks off"? No, but it is definitely worth the ticket price and fun evening. I w…
Great musician!!! Wonderful show Enjoyed the pizza and salad They accommodated gluten free lactose free diet Great service Phillip Kaiser was amazing!!
Amazing experience. We had a celiac and they accommodated with gluten free pizza and salad with no croutons. Bud light was unlimited, Jonathon made sure we had a full pizza in front of us at all times. The magic show was nice, the magician was very charismatic. Bonus points for allowing/working with me to reschedule after making a booking mistake
Optional Extras: WonderWorks and Laser-Tag
If you’re looking to make the night even more memorable, there’s an option to add WonderWorks access, which includes over 100 interactive exhibits, a 4D motion ride, and a glow-in-the-dark ropes course. Plus, there’s the chance to play laser-tag, which is a hit for kids and kids-at-heart alike.
Many reviewers found this combo a great way to extend their fun, especially if they’re traveling with children or a group that loves active entertainment.
The Food and Drink Experience
While the all-you-can-eat pizza and unlimited drinks are included in the ticket price, reviews show mixed feelings about the quality.
Some love the endless pizza and friendly waitstaff, with comments like, “Pizza was hot and fresh,” and “The service was great—refills were quick.” Others, however, mention the pizza being underdone or burnt, and the salad being just a bowl of lettuce with limited options.
Great show for the entire family. There was something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza and service.
Show was great, price was right, food was cheap pizza and salad with free wine and beer. There is a reasonably priced menu for add-ons. Early show on Sunday was packed, a lot of locals at the show.
It was a blast!!! Great magician and funny. Loved all the audience participation. Pizza was good. Salad was just ok.
The unlimited beer, wine, and soda are a definite plus, especially for groups wanting to relax and enjoy themselves without worry about extra costs. Many reviewers say the drinks flow freely, and the servers are attentive, making it easy to keep your glass topped off.

Be there an hour ahead because wondering works makes you stand on line while they try to upsell everyone buying tickets even though you have your ticket show was mediocre. Pizza was ok
This was a great show for the whole family. We were entertained as adults and the kids loved it. We would go again.
This was lovely- the magic show was wonderful and very funny. A nice break from the parks. The service was great- pizza good… salad has some room for improvement- but overall it was A+
