Having recently completed a record-breaking season in the UK, André The Hilarious Hypnotist returns to South Africa to present a once-off show at Emperors Palace’s Theatre of Marcellus on 25 October 2024 at 19:30.
André The Hilarious Hypnotist has been dishing out his brand of hilarious hypnotic entertainment for the past 30 years. Having launched to fame in 1994 at the Victory Theatre in Johannesburg, André’s four-week season turned into a 11 week tour de force. From there André went on to tour across South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Australia setting attendance records wherever he performed.
With his training in theatre and comedy André brings to life his unique form of entertainment in which members of the audience become the stars of the performance. Using volunteers from the audience André hypnotises and then instructs these unsuspecting stars of the show to interact in various strange, weird and wonderful ways on his stage.
André who was trained by the late Max Collie brings a healthy dose of comedy to his one man show and with no two shows ever being the same André’s show has people returning night after night. With the snap of his fingers André turns the hypnotised volunteers into washing machines, typewriters, moon men and even a baywatch lifeguard and that is just some of the hilarious routines performed under André’s hypnotic control.
André, the Hilarious Hypnotist is quick to assure people watching the show that he only uses volunteers when presenting the show. No person will be forced to be part of the performance but for those who do decide to brave the stage, they are guaranteed five minutes of fame as André makes them the stars of every performance. “Bring your family and friends and dare them to go on stage. That always creates a lot of fun but brings out the best in our volunteers!” says André. “If you have never been to a stage hypnosis show, now is the time to book your ticket as you are going to have such a “jol” with laughter all the way.”
