Liam Vincent, a seasoned Comedy Hypnotist, brings his decade-long stand-up comedy background to the stage. Featured in a BBC comedy special in his native Britain, Liam transitioned to New York City, where he crafted his unique hypnosis show. Blending witty impersonations and showmanship, Liam puts his volunteer subjects – the true stars of the show – through a wildly entertaining experience. With the audience watching, Liam skillfully guides his volunteers through an unforgettable adventure. He will blend PG-rated comedy, impersonations and
showmanship with his playful use of hypnosis subjects as the entertainers.
Before taking the stage, Liam performs simple tests to ensure his volunteers can enter a “waking-sleep” trance state, making them receptive to his playful suggestions. Note that hypnosis isn’t for everyone, and Liam carefully selects participants to guarantee a hilarious experience for all – volunteers and audience members alike.
Even for those who have watched a hypnotist routine on TV, a live show has advantages that go beyond seeing your friends and neighbors behaving foolishly. “The audience rapport in a live show like this comes from identification with the subjects, and you just don’t get that in a televised performance”. At the same time, I think seeing a show like this, happening right in front of your eyes, helps lend credibility to hypnotherapy, which has always been viewed as a ‘fringe’ practice.
