Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis with Colin Mochrie & Asad Mecci – Washington, DC at Lincoln Theatre

Prepare yourself for an evening of unpredictable comedy, hypnotic wonder, and audience-driven magic. Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis brings together two masters of their craft:

• Colin Mochrie – the quick-witted improv legend from Whose Line Is It Anyway?

• Asad Mecci – a world-renowned hypnotist known for his mind-bending stage performances.

The show kicks off with Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers from the audience onto the stage. Through hypnosis, he identifies those most responsive, and they stay on stage to perform. These hypnotized volunteers then join Mochrie in a series of wild, unscripted improv games and scenarios.

The result? A 90-minute experience where no two shows are ever alike—crafted entirely from audience suggestions and the unfiltered imagination of volunteers performing under hypnosis.
