Comedy hypnotist, Simon Warner, brings his mesmerising act to the West End stage for the first time in 15 years with Viva Hypnosis for two nights only at the Leicester Square Theatre just before Christmas.
Following a successful run across the globe with shows in Las Vegas, the Caribbean, and Orlando as well as sell-out performances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Viva Hypnosis comes to London to take audience members on an “exhilarating hypnotic journey down the Las Vegas strip” with dancers, music, fibre optic props, costumes, full-stage projections and more.
Concerned if you go you might end up on stage clucking like a chicken or confessing some past transgressions you thought were well behind you? Don’t worry. No one’s going to be made fun of or made to feel embarrassed. Audience members can choose how they experience the show. They are welcome to take part on stage but by no means will be prodded out of their seats if they’d rather not.
According to Simon:
There are a lot of old negative misconceptions surrounding hypnosis as an art form, and it’s time that things changed- it’s long overdue. I want to show people that it can be a fun, entertaining and hilarious night out for everyone. I hope that London audiences are as excited by the show as we are about bringing it to them.
Simon Warner’s Viva Hypnosis runs 19 and 20 December 2016 at
Leicester Square Theatre, 6 Leicester Place, WC2H 7BX. For details and to book, go to leicestersquaretheatre.com.
