Comedy Hypnosis Show Highlights

What Happens During a Comedy Hypnosis Show?

Dave Hill's stage show is an audience-participation event. Willing volunteers are invited on stage and become the stars of the show. The performance combines hypnosis, comedy and imaginative routines for approximately an hour of interactive entertainment.

What Makes Dave Hill's Show Different?

The volunteers are the stars of the show.

Dave doesn't bring people onstage simply to hypnotize them. He turns them into the stars of the evening. That's why Dave performs from the side of the volunteers rather than making himself the center of attention. The laughter and applause belong to the people onstage.

Dave learned that lesson about showmanship from Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas in the 1980s. Sinatra taught him that a great performer doesn't have to step into the center of the stage and take a bow after every routine. Let the people you're performing with have their moment. Dave has followed that advice ever since.

At the end of every comedy hypnosis show, before awakening the volunteers, Dave tells the audience: “In a moment, I'm going to awaken our wonderful volunteers. Please give them a standing ovation, because they are the stars of the show.”

And Dave remembers Sinatra's lesson: the applause may be for the performer, too, but he doesn't need to step forward and claim it. When the audience rises to its feet, he already knows he gave them a great show and a night to remember.
