    Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis

    The Smith Opera House
    $65.69, $50.83, $39.56
    08:00 PM - 10:00 PM on Fri, 26 Sep 2025

    The most interactive comedy show in the world!

    “Hilarious and Fascinating” – Time Out New York

    HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) is coming to after 100 cities toured, a 70-show run Off Broadway in New York City, and a six month residency in Las Vegas!! HYPROV is “hilarious and fascinating” (says Time Out New York) and is “catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality” (The Wall Street Journal). The New Yorker says, “Say yes to HYPROV,”!

    The 90-minute live 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 that The Times of London declared “a celebration of the human imagination.”

    Your evening begins with World Renowned Hypnotist, Asad Mecci, welcoming 20 volunteers* on stage to be hypnotized. The most receptive to hypnosis then join Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it, Anyway?) to improvise the rest of the show, while hypnotized.

    In the hands of two experts, and solely crafted from the volunteers’ uninhibited, unconscious minds and audience suggestions, each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience.

    Whether in the audience or on stage performing, get ready to have the time of your life!!

    *Participation is completely voluntary
