HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis with Colin Mochrie a

Presale: Monday August 24 at 10am until Tuesday August 25 at 10pm (pass: HYPFAM)
On Sale: Wednesday August 26 at 10am


HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv), the hit show that has sold out venues across Canada, America and the United Kingdom, is returning with the "Yes, It’s Real” Tour!


Stunning audiences throughout North America and Europe and making them ask “Is this real?”, the duo is set to prove it. The live show, which has been called “hilarious and fascinating" by Time Out New York, combines hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind comedy experience.


HYPROV has been acclaimed by prestigious publications, with The New York Times declaring, “The audience erupted in laughter. It killed”, The Wall Street Journal praised it as "catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality," and The New Yorker advised, "Say yes to HYPROV."


The 90-minute show combines hypnosis and improv–two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between. 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 theshow, while hypnotized. In the hands of two experts and solely crafted from the volunteers’ and audiences uninhibited, unconscious minds, each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience.
