Not many people pay to see a show that they are likely to fall asleep through. However, during an evening with the charismatic hypnotist Acari, falling asleep can be a highlight, along with what follows when you wake up.

This charismatic performer will have you in hysterics as you watch him put the volunteers through their paces during his comedy hypnotic show.

Members of the audience who wish to volunteer can join Acari on stage where he proceeds to hypnotize them, then issues them with instructions of what he wants them to do.

Previous shows have seen audience members believing they were cast members of a production of Swan Lake, others as jockeys in the Grand National and many believing they were listening to their favourite song from a radio (in reality, their shoe).

Acari is without doubt a master of his craft. Like a surgeon, he skilfully operates on your psychic and funny bone with his power of suggestion.

This is a show not to be missed!
