"Celebrating a quarter-century of performing his stage show, Andre The Hilarious Hypnotist is still — a testament to his consistent appeal — reaching new audiences… The show, by its nature, is intimate and interactive, with the slightly stooped figure of its central figure serving mostly as a facilitator, rather than an obvious manipulator or magician."

"Andre's show is an entertaining and inexpensive night out, and he's obviously doing something right since he's been consistently hauling in the crowds for almost quarter of a century. Whether you're sold on hypnotism or a complete sceptic, it doesn't actually matter. You'll either love the show believing everything you see, or you'll be completely fascinated as you doubt or try to work out what's going on. An enjoyable evening is therefore guaranteed."

"Seeing is believing, and I can now honestly say that I am a believer… I've been to many comedy shows in my life and I can confidently say that I didn't find them as hilarious. What I loved about it, is that it's not ‘staged’ or scripted, it all happened so naturally and it just flowed."

"I have to admit some of my highlights have to be the moon talking and speaking Chinese. It was my first experience with hypnosis of any kind, but I enjoyed every minute of it."

ABOUT ANDRE

Andre uses comedy and hypnosis to prove one simple thing: most of us spend life editing ourselves. On stage, that filter quietly steps aside - not because anyone's forced to, but because the room becomes lighter, safer, and playful.


No swinging watches. No mystical claims. No awkward attempts to "control minds." Hypnosis here isn't about power - it's about permission. Permission to focus, to imagine, and to follow an idea just far enough to see what happens next.


Volunteers don't become the butt of the joke - they become the reason the room is laughing. Audiences laugh with them, recognising something familiar in the freedom on stage. Equally great in theatres, festivals, corporate events and private functions.

People are way more interesting than they think.
