Colin Mochrie & Asad Mecci: HYPROV \u2013 Improv Under Hypnosis

Get ready for a comedy experience unlike any other! HYPROV (pronounced “hip-rawv”) is the smash-hit show from Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and master hypnotist Asad Mecci. After touring 200+ cities, a 70-show Off-Broadway run, and a Las Vegas residency, HYPROV now brings its unique blend of hypnosis and improv to your stage. The New York Times says “The audience erupted in laughter…it killed”! Time Out New York calls it “hilarious and fascinating,” and The Wall Street Journal declares it “catnip for those who relish spontaneity.”
Here’s how it works: 20 volunteers are invited on stage and hypnotized into a state of uninhibited creativity. The most responsive subjects then improvise with Colin, while the audience watches the mayhem unfold. 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.

VIP experience (Meet & Greet)
A post-show Meet & Greet with Colin & Asad is offered as a limited-availability upgrade for an extra $50. Enjoy this opportunity to take a selfie and meet the artists. Get yours before they're gone!
