Agenda

Get ready for a night of laughter, shenanigans and improv starring…YOU?! Kewadin Casino Sault Ste. Marie is excited to announce HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis starring Colin Mochrie and Asad Mecci on Saturday, Nov. 23 in the DreamMakers Theater.

Created by improv and comedy legend Colin Mochrie (“Whose Line Is It Anyway?”), and co-star World Renowned Hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV is a live show combining hypnosis and improv. It begins with an expert hypnotist welcoming 20 volunteers on stage to be hypnotized—a process that takes about 20 minutes. The most receptive “Hyprovisors” then join the legendary Colin Mochrie and create an instant improv troupe and perform the rest of the show, while fully under hypnosis.

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