HYPROV: Yes, It’s Real Tour – Hypnosis Meets Hilarious Improv Live in Salem at Elsinore Theatre

Get ready, Salem! On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the internationally acclaimed comedy phenomenon HYPROV: Yes, It’s Real takes center stage at the Elsinore Theatre for an evening of side-splitting laughter and mind-bending surprises.

HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) is the bold and brilliant collaboration between world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci and legendary improv comedian Colin Mochrie of Whose Line Is It Anyway? fame. This groundbreaking show seamlessly blends live hypnosis with improvised comedy, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that audiences across North America and Europe are raving about.

The night begins when Mecci invites 20 audience volunteers onstage to be hypnotized. From there, only the most receptive participants remain—and they become the unexpected stars of the show. What happens next is pure comedy gold: Colin Mochrie improvises entire scenes with hypnotized participants who have no idea what’s coming. The result? Completely unscripted. Utterly unpredictable. Unforgettably hilarious.
