With His New Show, Ta-Da!, Josh Sharp Finds the Magic—and the Music—in a 2,000-Slide PowerPoint Presentation
Vogue: I want to start by asking you about the origins of this show. When did you begin writing and working on it? Josh Sharp: It's been a few years, and a couple of paths converged. The concept of doing it with the slides was something I started a few years ago, but I was just doing it for 10 minutes. And then it just fleshed out from there and became 20 minutes, and then 30 minutes, and then 40 minutes. A good two-thirds of it is stuff written just for this show, and another third is the random old stand-up bit that's like, 'Oh, this actually fits in this thing.' So it sort of depends on where you define starting. The show is called Ta-da! and involves some elements of magic. Have you seen any magic shows lately? I love to see magic shows. When I'm in LA, I always go to the Magic Castle. I try to see the good ones: I loved [Derek DelGaudio's] 'In & of Itself.' Asi Wind is incredible. Every year there's a good magic show and I go see it. You worked on this show with Sam Pinkleton. How did that partnership come to be? And what does direction look like with such a personal show? There's a reason why everybody loves Sam—and it's that he's the best. We knew of each other and were friendly and had talked about other little projects, but then, when I really had this version of the show and I was doing it at comedy clubs, I invited him. And honestly, I just thought that he was way too busy to do this. But then we talked for like an hour after [the show], and I remember being like, 'Wait, just vibe-checking: would you direct this?' And he was like, 'Oh, I'd love to direct it.' So for a while, it was just a lot of conversations about it, because I was continuing to develop it in the comedy club space. And then, in the months leading up to the theatrical run, he was so good at assembling our team. This is my first time doing this type of theatrical run for a stand-up show—that sort of canonical act where the stand-up comedian plops down in an off-Broadway theater for a few months. But I directed one for my friend Michael Cruz Kayne, this show called Sorry for Your Loss that was at the Minetta Lane two years ago. So one of my favorite things from that side was just getting to build out this team of designers who are, like, cool, stunty theater professionals you can hire to just make your show more impressive. And Sam is so good at that. This is all to say: it's been freaking rad.

Watch: Rory McIlroy bizarrely hits two balls at the same time
He is known for his golfing magic but Rory McIlroy has conjured his most novel trick of all at the Open – by hitting two balls at the same time. The Northern Irishman was left startled to the point of laughing after somehow unearthing a hidden ball while hacking his own ball from the rough. He had hit his tee shot wide ride of the fairway on the 11th before aiming his second shot at the green when the bizarre incident unfolded. His effort took a fair chunk of grass and mud with him as his ball arrowed in the right direction while another ball hidden in the rough chipped up towards him. McIlroy then smiled and held up the random ball to a surprised crowd who will have been waiting for video replays to establish what exactly had happened. The shot took place midway through a dramatic round for McIlroy which had been captivating the home crowd. McIlroy started the afternoon at three under, seven shots behind after Scottie Scheffler's seven-under-par 64 on Friday. There had been a string of early birdies before a bogey on the 11th, but the biggest Rory roar would erupt on the following hole as he sunk from 56 feet to secure an eagle which moved him to seven under. The world No 2 had said prior to today's action that he 'could be a couple closer to the lead' but he feels he is in a 'decent' position. The five-time major winner on Friday shot a second-round 69, one stroke better than he managed on Thursday. He failed to make the cut when the championship was last staged at Portrush in 2019. 'It was a hard pill to swallow, but at the same time, I left myself too much to do,' he said of his opening-round 79 in 2019, when he eventually missed the cut by a shot.
