HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis. Tickets

Funniest thing ever! If this show comes back I'll absolutely get tickets again!

Mixing improv with hypnosis - with hypnotist Asad Mecci, is only something Canadian Master Improv-er Colin Mochrie could pull off. Terrific fun. Lots of good laughs.

This is the most unique performance that I have ever attended - Improv under Hypnosis. I bought tickets for my parents and friends. Other family members and friends also attended this sold-out show in Ottawa. It was remarkable how charismatic, energetic and skilled the Master Hypnotist Asad Mecci was to be able to hypnotize a handful of volunteers at random while being watched by some 900 people in the audience. He demonstrated his expertise in determining within minutes on stage who were viable subjects and who were non-hypnotisable. We later met one of the people who got hypnotized on stage, and she verified that she was not approached in advance and that she voluntarily went on stage to participate in the show. She also remembered everything that transpired while in the trance. This hypnosis combined with the talent and experience of the legendary Canadian actor-comedian Colin Mochrie was also very entertaining to watch. It was fun to watch Colin think so quick on his feet when responding to those under hypnosis in different scenarios. Both Colin and Asad were a great duo in maintaining a high level of comedy and Improv under hypnosis. I would certainly go again!

Although the hosts of the event were funny, we found the overall concept flat. The hypnotized individuals were not professionals and it showed. The overall approach did not seem to work. Too bad.
