Colin Mochrie and Asad Mecci
Star in HYPROV: Comedy Under Hypnosis
Hilarious. Unpredictable. Unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
From the brilliant mind of Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV is the smash-hit comedy show that blends hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind night out.
Here’s how it works:
- 20 audience volunteers rush the stage. (Participation is voluntary)
- Asad Mecci hypnotizes them into a state of total uninhibited creativity.
- The funniest, wildest “Hyprovisors” then join a world-class comedian to perform an improv show where anything — and everything — can happen.
The result? A comedy experience so raw, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud funny that no two shows are ever the same. With improvised music woven throughout, HYPROV is part mind- blowing experiment, part outrageous improv, and 100% entertainment. Whether you’re a fan of Whose Line, obsessed with live comedy, or just looking for the ultimate “you had to be there” night out — HYPROV delivers.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv), the hit show that has sold out venues across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, is continuing its highly successful world tour. With new dates announced and fresh from visiting over 60 North American cities since October 2024, the show is consistently stunning audiences, making them ask, “Is this real?”.
HYPROV was created in 2016 at Toronto’s legendary Second City. After working it out on stage, they took the show on the road to Just for Laughs London, Just for Laughs Montreal and the Edinburgh Fringe where it was received with rave reviews in 2016 and 2017. The duo set out on a 100-city tour from 2019-2023, performed 12 weeks Off Broadway in NYC and six months at Harrah’s Las Vegas, and a 16 show residency at the CAA Theatre in Toronto.
Starring Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it Anyway?) and Master Hypnotist, Asad Mecci, the live show, HYPROV, which has been called “hilarious and fascinating” by Time Out New York, combines hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind comedy experience.
The 90-minute show is a one-of-a-kind fusion of hypnosis and improv — two art forms that have long mystified and entertained fans, skeptics, and everyone in between. The evening begins with Asad Mecci inviting 20 volunteers on stage to be hypnotized. From there, the most responsive participants join Colin Mochrie to perform the rest of the show — while still under hypnosis.
In the hands of two seasoned performers, and drawn entirely from the uninhibited minds of volunteers and the audience, each performance is completely original, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
