Iliza Shlesinger is on fire and taking no prisoners!

HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis at Great Canadian Casino

HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis

World famous mesmerist Asad Mecci and legendary improvisational comedian Colin Mochrie join forces for one of the most unpredictable, jaw-dropping shows you'll have ever witnessed in HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis. The daring format takes twenty volunteers from the audience being put under hypnosis live onstage. As their minds become swayed they're eventually whittled down to the five most suggestible, who'll spend the rest of the evening subconsciously performing with the world's greatest improv comedian!

Jeff Arcuri at Vogue Theatre

The phrase star on the rise may be overused but in the case of fresh-faced Jeff Arcuri, it's certainly true! A fixture at comedy clubs across the country (including New York City's famous Comedy Cellar) this clean cut comedian has been steadily growing his following. You might have seen him on Comedy Central's Roast Battle or on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but here's your chance to catch this 'joke machine' live on stage!
