About

HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv), the hit show that has sold out venues across Canada, America and the United Kingdom, is returning with the “Yes, It’s Real” Tour, visiting 45 North American cities beginning October 10 at the Hawaii Theatre Center in Honolulu.

Stunning audiences throughout North America and Europe and making them ask “Is this real?”, the duo is set to prove it with their latest tour. The live show, which has been called “hilarious and fascinating” by Time Out New York, combines hypnosis and improv for a one-of-a-kind comedy experience.

“We are so excited to launch this new tour and return to some of our favourite cities and visit some new ones.” said Asad Mecci. “It’s been an incredible journey.”

“And we just want to remind everyone, YES! It’s real,” exclaims Colin Mochrie.

HYPROV has been acclaimed by prestigious publications, with The New York Times declaring, “The audience erupted in laughter. It killed” The Wall Street Journal praised it as “catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality,” and The New Yorker advised, “Say yes to HYPROV.”

The 90-minute show combines hypnosis and improv–two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between. The evening begins with Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers on stage to be hypnotized. The most receptive to hypnosis then join Mochrie to improvise the rest of the show, while hypnotized. In the hands of two experts and solely crafted from the volunteers’ and audiences uninhibited, unconscious minds, each show is an entirely original and completely
unforgettable theatrical experience.

HYPROV was created in 2016 at Toronto’s 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.
