comedy stage hypnotist

Hi
Just thought I would write and tell you about a fantastic show last Friday!
I was at Pontins, Brean sands, there were 1350 people in the audience, I stopped people coming on stage at about 60! hypnotised loads and worked 8!
It was a really good night!

Most Bizzare Show yet!

Last night, I was performing at a private party in a restaurant in Knightsbridge, it turned out the party was for 35, 8-11 year olds, they were a bit rowdy but they loved the show and the booker gave me a £50 tip!

Oh what a night!

After 20 years in the business I have just seen my first act get "paid off".
I was working for Haven Holidays at the weekend with an Abba tribute band, they were so bad they almost cleared the room when the Ents manager told them "make that your last song"
There were only 18 people left in the room when I started, but I git 4 volunteers and hypnotised 3 of them and we all had a great night. The entertainments team could not thank me enough for turning it round and saving the night. Shame it was so far away, had a seven and a half hour drive home after it!

I know why we only have one Christmas each year!

It is because that is exactly how long it takes for you not to remember how awful some staff Christmas parties can be!

Back with avengence

Nothing like starting back gently.
Operation went well, 3 weeks off work (27 days to be precise, the longest I can remember ever going between shows) then back to one local one on the Thursday, Dalbeatie in Scotland on the Friday, Port Talbot in Wales on the Saturday, Sunday off before going to Hastings and back on the Monday!

Thanks for all your good wishes

Thanks for all your good wishes.
The operation went very well and I have made a full recovery. In fact I am already back at work and showing no signs of any problems.

I went down like the belgrano!

Well, I have just done an unusual gig!
It was a naval reunion at a hotel in Stockton, It was agreed that I would do my set up before everyone started to eat, I was running just a little late due to a very difficult get in, but the guests (about 150 of them) were still arriving and getting seated.
I put a piece of music on to test the P.A. was working and a horrible man at the nearest table shouted at me "Turn that off we are eating!" well, job done, the P.A. was working fine so I duly turned the music off!
All I needed now was a quick mic check to make sure that I was not going to feed back, It was a simple set up as the room was long and straight, so I pretty much knew what my settings would need to be, just a quick "one, two, one, two" on the mic was sufficient, but this time the horrible little man screamed at me "I told you to be quiet, we are eating!" (they weren't, people were still arriving and service had not started!), any way job done, no more hassle until show time.
Show time arrives (after coffee) so I play my intro and guess what? Yes, it's the horrible little man again! this time he shouts at me again, "turn that off, I told you we are eating!"
Anyway I just ignore him and get on with the job I am being paid to do, but immediately two women on his table put their hands over their ears, then shortly afterwards horrible man and about eight of the people at his table get up and walk out, this then starts a mass exodus and over half of my audience leave before I have even started the show!
However the ones that did stay said it was one of the funniest things they have ever seen!

Ask the audience to phone a friend!

Well, 18 years in the business and I still haven't seen it all!
A new one for me at the weekend, got to my venue and set up, met the manager who told me they were expecting about 110 people, great I thought!
At 8:30 there are only 18 people in the room, the manager is still insistent that he wants the show to go ahead, so he goes on the microphone and asks the 18 people if they can get on their mobiles and try and get some more people down to the venue! (alas it did not work).
However, much to my surprise, when I asked for volunteers I got 7 people and hypnotised them all, and we had a great show!!! (although not much atmosphere from the ones left in the audience due to lack of numbers in a big room).
