Colin Mochrie's HYPROV
From the minds of improv and comedy legend Colin Mochrie and Master Hypnotist Asad Mecci comes a brand new, jaw-dropping, side-splitting show bringing together two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between for decades worldwide – come together as two masters of their crafts unite for a totally unique comedy experience, HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis. How it Works: 20 random volunteers from the audience will be put under hypnosis by Asad (the process of which is a show in its own right). The contestants are methodically and hysterically whittled down until the five best remain. Then, Colin takes the stage to improvise with the top five while they are still under hypnosis, turning the show into an improv extravaganza. Tickets $29$49/$5 more on day of show — 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28 at Elsinore Theatre | elsinoretheatre.com
