On January 16, 2026, Sarnia’s Imperial Theatre (168 Christina Street North) will host Toronto-based comedy-magic duo Carson Pinch (Sarnia‑raised) and Taylor Davis (Brigden‑raised) for their headline show, Carson & Taylor Make the CN Tower Disappear! The 90‑minute comedy‑magic spectacle starts at 8 p.m. and features opening comedian Marc Hallworth.
Pinch, who grew up in Sarnia, and Davis first met in the theatre’s youth drama program as 13‑year‑olds—roughly 25–27 years ago. Since then the duo has toured Ontario and Western Canada with a mix of sketch comedy and stage illusions, including knife‑throwing, telekinesis and a straitjacket escape.
The Sarnia performance is being promoted as a “grand sendoff” for this particular CN Tower show as the pair begin work on new material. The duo and reporting about the production note the show includes risky illusions that require professional stunt and theatrical safety protocols; however, specific production details for the Jan. 16 performance (for example, exactly which protocols or pyrotechnics will be used) have not been independently confirmed.
No public workshops or school visits are listed for the Jan. 16 date. Given the pair’s history with the Imperial’s youth programs, they have in the past participated in community initiatives, but any post‑show talk‑back or outreach session for this performance is not scheduled or confirmed.
Tickets are available through the Imperial Theatre box office: https://www.imperialtheatre.net/show/carson-taylor-make-the-cn-tower-disappear.
