Mecci stopped by Wake Up 2Day Wednesday morning to give fans a preview of what’s on tap for the 85-100 minute live show.

“HYPROV is a live show that combines hypnosis and improv for a unique comedy experience,” Mecci said. “The 90-minute show combines hypnosis and improv–two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics, and everyone in between worldwide–for a totally unique comedy experience,” Mecci said. “It 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’ uninhibited, unconscious minds–each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience.”

According to HYPROV, “the most receptive “Hyprovisors” then join a world-class improviser and create an instant improv troupe and perform the rest of the show, while fully under hypnosis. In the hands of two experts, and solely crafted from the Hyprovisors uninhibited, unconscious minds, each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience. The show also has improvised music throughout.”
