Back by popular demand, HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) is the most interactive comedy show in the world! After a 100-city tour, a celebrated 70-show run Off-Broadway, and a six-month residency in Las Vegas, HYPROV is taking the stage once again to delight audiences with its unique blend of hypnosis and improvisation. Declared “hilarious and fascinating” by Time Out New York and “catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality” by The Wall Street Journal, this one-of-a-kind show is a “celebration of the human imagination” (The Times of London). As The New Yorker puts it: “Say yes to HYPROV!”
This 90-minute experience begins with world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci inviting 20 audience volunteers onstage to be hypnotized. The most receptive participants then join improv legend Colin Mochrie from Whose Line Is It Anyway? to create unscripted comedy in a way you’ve never seen before. In the hands of these two experts, the show evolves entirely from the volunteers’ uninhibited minds and audience suggestions, resulting in an unforgettable theatrical event that’s different every night.
Whether you’re watching from the audience or up on stage performing, HYPROV promises a hilarious, imaginative and utterly unpredictable night of comedy. With its unique combination of hypnosis and improv, this show offers an experience like no other — perfect for fans, skeptics, and everyone in between. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary event that has captivated audiences worldwide!
Participation is completely voluntary—but whether you join the fun or cheer from the crowd, get ready to have the time of your life!
