COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — November 2026 — Ever dreamed of being a rock star, a Hollywood celebrity or the funniest person in the room? Your chance may be coming sooner than you think!
Award-winning comedian, certified hypnotist and Las Vegas resident headliner Don Barnhart returns to Loonees Comedy Corner December 4–5, 2026, bringing his internationally touring Hypnomania Comedy Hypnosis Show to Colorado Springs for four hilarious, unpredictable performances.
Joining Barnhart for this special engagement is Las Vegas comedian Chazmyne "Chaz" Gisstennar, bringing her own comedic energy to a weekend of laughter, imagination and outrageous audience participation.
And for those looking for something a little more adventurous, Barnhart unleashes his mischievous alter ego, "Dirty Don," for the special adults-only, R-rated Naughty Hypnosis Show on Saturday night at 9:15 PM.
Part stand-up comedy, part improvisation, part hypnosis and part fantasy adventure, Hypnomania is an interactive experience where ordinary audience members become the extraordinary stars of the show.
SEE THE SHOW OR BE THE SHOW!
Ever dreamed of being a rock star, a Hollywood leading actor, a world-famous dancer or the funniest person in the room? With Hypnomania, you might just get your chance!
Unlike traditional comedy performances, Hypnomania invites willing audience volunteers to step onstage, let their imaginations run wild and experience what it's like to live out their wildest dreams and fantasies.
Through the power of hypnosis, Barnhart encourages volunteers to temporarily set aside their fears, stage fright, self-doubt and limiting beliefs — the mental roadblocks that often hold people back from pursuing their dreams.
As their imaginations take over, everyday people discover hidden talents and transform into larger-than-life rock stars, improvisational comedy players, fearless dancers, Hollywood celebrities and outrageous characters they never knew they had inside them.
One minute you're sitting in the audience. The next, you're living out your wildest dreams in front of a cheering crowd!
But behind the outrageous laughter is something even more fascinating.
Barnhart introduces volunteers to the power of hypnotic suggestion, relaxation and focused imagination — techniques they can explore in their everyday lives to help build confidence, challenge unwanted habits, overcome self-imposed limitations and work toward achieving their personal dreams and goals.
"The same imagination that allows someone to become a rock star onstage can help them visualize success in their everyday life," says Barnhart. "So many of our limitations come from what we believe we can't do. Hypnosis gives people an opportunity to explore what happens when they stop telling themselves they can't."
Combining decades of stand-up comedy experience, Second City improvisational training and professional hypnosis expertise, Barnhart creates a spontaneous, interactive experience where volunteers become the stars and no two performances are ever the same.
And here's the best part: You don't have to be hypnotized to have an incredible time! Whether you're onstage exploring your hidden potential or watching your friends discover their inner superstar, Hypnomania delivers an unforgettable night of laughter, surprises and outrageous fun.
It's part comedy show, part fantasy adventure, part personal discovery — and 100% unpredictable!
SATURDAY LATE SHOW: DIRTY DON'S NAUGHTY HYPNOSIS!
When the clock strikes 9:15 PM Saturday, the gloves come off, the comedy gets dirtier and the hypnosis gets a whole lot naughtier!
Barnhart brings out his mischievous alter ego, "Dirty Don," for a special R-rated edition of Hypnomania, where inhibitions are challenged, imaginations run wild and the comedy takes a decidedly more adult turn.
Expect outrageous scenarios, suggestive situations, unexpected antics and hilarious audience participation that goes well beyond the traditional hypnosis show.
This isn't your grandmother's hypnosis show — unless Grandma has a particularly adventurous sense of humor!
The Naughty Hypnosis Show is designed for mature audiences who enjoy risqué comedy, outrageous improvisation and aren't easily offended.
And remember, it's all in good fun. Volunteers participate willingly, and no one is required to do anything they don't want to do.
SPECIAL GUEST CHAZMYNE "CHAZ" GISSTENNAR
Joining Barnhart for this special Colorado Springs engagement is Las Vegas comedian Chazmyne "Chaz" Gisstennar, a familiar face at Delirious Comedy Club and part of the growing Delirious TV comedy family.
Known for her lively stage presence, quick wit and playful personality, Chaz brings her own unique comedic energy to the weekend, warming up audiences before Barnhart unleashes the hypnotic hilarity.
Together, Barnhart and Chaz promise a weekend of unexpected laughs, unforgettable characters and the kind of spontaneous comedy that can only happen when the audience becomes part of the show.
FROM ENTERTAINING THE TROOPS TO HEADLINING LAS VEGAS
Don Barnhart has spent more than three decades entertaining audiences around the world, performing in comedy clubs, casinos, theaters, cruise ships and military bases in some of the world's most remote locations.
Since 1992, Barnhart has entertained American troops overseas through military entertainment tours and Battle Comics, an organization he founded to bring laughter and entertainment to deployed service members.
His comedy has been featured on Dry Bar Comedy, Open Bar Comedy, The Bob & Tom Show, SiriusXM, MTV, Star Search and Evening at the Improv.
Barnhart is also featured in the documentaries I Am Battle Comic and Finding The Funny, the latter featuring comedy legends Brad Garrett and Louie Anderson.
A graduate of the prestigious Second City Conservatory, Barnhart combines the instincts of an experienced stand-up comedian with improvisational comedy and professional hypnosis to create an entertainment experience unlike any other.
In Las Vegas, Barnhart is the resident headliner and producer at Delirious Comedy Club, located inside Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino, where he performs regularly alongside nationally touring comedians and rising stars.
He is also the creator and producer of Delirious TV, a weekly live comedy series filmed in Las Vegas and streamed to audiences around the world on Facebook, YouTube, Roku and Amazon Fire TV.
The series showcases established comedians and emerging talent under the tagline:
"Comedy legends you know. Rising stars you'll discover."
MORE THAN JUST LAUGHS: THE POWER OF HYPNOSIS
Although Hypnomania is first and foremost a comedy experience, Barnhart believes hypnosis can also introduce audiences to a powerful tool for personal development.
As the author of Creating The Life You Desire, Barnhart explores how focused imagination, positive suggestion and self-hypnosis can help individuals develop greater confidence, challenge limiting beliefs and pursue their personal goals.
While stage hypnosis is intended for entertainment rather than therapy, Barnhart hopes audiences leave with a new appreciation for the potential of their own minds.
His philosophy is simple: Sometimes the biggest obstacle between you and your dreams is the belief that you can't achieve them.
And if someone can discover their inner rock star in front of a room full of strangers, perhaps they'll be inspired to approach everyday challenges with a little more confidence, creativity and courage.
