Hilarious. Unpredictable. Unlike anything you’ve ever seen. From the brilliant mind of Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV is the smash-hit comedy show that blends hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind night out. Here’s how it works: 20 audience volunteers rush the stage. (Participation is voluntary) Asad Mecci hypnotizes them into a state of total uninhibited creativity. The funniest, wildest “Hyprovisors” then join a world-class comedian to perform an improv show where anything — and everything — can happen. The result? A comedy experience so raw, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud funny that no two shows are ever the same. With improvised music woven throughout, HYPROV is part mind-blowing experiment, part outrageous improv, and 100% entertainment. Whether you’re a fan of Whose Line, obsessed with live comedy, or just looking for the ultimate “you had to be there” night out — HYPROV delivers.
