Synopsis
Tuesday 21 April 2026
7pm
Hilarious. Unpredictable. Unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
From improv legend Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV is a boundary-breaking comedy experience that fuses hypnosis and improvisation into one electrifying show.
“The audience erupted in laughter … it killed.” –The New York Times
“hilarious and fascinating.” – Time Out New York
“catnip for those who relish spontaneity.” – The Wall Street Journal
How It Works
Twenty audience volunteers take the stage — completely voluntarily.
Within minutes, Asad Mecci guides them into a state of fearless creativity.
The most receptive “Hyprovisors” then join Colin Mochrie to perform a completely improvised comedy show — while hypnotized.
No script. No safety net. Just raw imagination and real laughter unfolding live.
With improvised music driving the rhythm, every performance is a one-of-a-kind high-wire act of comedy, chaos, and connection.
HYPROV isn’t just a show — it’s part mind experiment, part comedy lab, and 100 percent entertainment.
No two nights are ever the same.
Whether you’re a Whose Line fan, a live-comedy junkie, or simply chasing an unforgettable night out, HYPROV delivers.
