HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis with Colin Mochrie & Asad Mecci – Live in Saratoga Springs at Universal Preservation Hall

Experience an unforgettable evening of comedy and mind-bending entertainment as HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis takes the stage at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

Created by Colin Mochrie, legendary star of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV blends the unpredictable brilliance of improv with the astonishing power of hypnosis. The result? A one-of-a-kind live show hailed as “hilarious and fascinating” by Time Out New York and “a celebration of the human imagination” by The Times of London.

Here’s how it works: Mecci begins by hypnotizing 20 audience volunteers on stage. The most responsive participants—now fully immersed in their subconscious minds—team up with Mochrie for a fast-paced, fully improvised comedy show like nothing you’ve seen before. Every performance is completely unique, fueled by the spontaneous minds of the “Hyprovisors.”

HYPROV has toured globally, with critically acclaimed runs Off-Broadway in New York and a residency in Las Vegas. It’s earned rave reviews from top media outlets:

• Forbes calls it “wild and wonderfully weird”

• The New Yorker urges audiences to “say yes to HYPROV”

• The Wall Street Journal describes it as “catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality”

Tickets range from $38.50 to $65.50 — early booking is recommended for this high-demand show. Venue: Universal Preservation Hall, 25 Washington Street, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

Whether you’re a fan of improv, curious about hypnosis, or just looking for a night of unfiltered fun, HYPROV is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Secure your seats now and prepare to laugh like never before — under hypnosis!
