Straight from their Las Vegas Residency at the legendary Showroom at Harrah’s, Colin Mochrie and Asad Mecci are taking HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis on the second leg of a 2023 North American tour, beginning in Clayton, North Carolina on September 7.
An international success story, HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) continues to make waves after its sold out Canadian tour earlier this year and Off-Broadway run in 2022. The live show, which has been called a “celebration of the human imagination” by The Times of London, combines hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind comedy experience.
The 90-minute show combines hypnosis and improv–two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between worldwide–for a totally unique comedy experience. The evening begins with Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers on stage to be hypnotized. The most receptive to hypnosis then join Mochrie to improvise the rest of the show, while hypnotized. In the hands of two experts–and solely crafted from the volunteers' uninhibited, unconscious minds–each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience.
HYPROV was created in 2016 at Toronto's Second City. After working it out on stage, they took the show on the road to Just for Laughs London, Just for Laughs Montreal and the Edinburgh Fringe where it was receivedwithravereviewsin2016and2017.
