For two hours you can be whoever or whatever you want to be
– a pop star, a princess, an athlete or a superhero! For one evening you can
live your dreams, for at the click of a finger Andre the Hilarious Hypnotist
allows you to become your ultimate fantasy.
Andre returns to his birthplace – Durban – for another
season of rollicking family fun. Often confused as a mentalist and magician,
Andre the Hilarious Hypnotist is an experienced award-winning comedian and
stage hypnotist.
He has become somewhat of an institution on the entertainment
calendar in South Africa and neighbouring countries during his 21 years on
stage, and became a household name in the 1990s when his show became an instant
hit across the country. Since then Andre has performed in virtually every
theatre, town hall, school hall, clubhouse and places he prefers not to mention
– consistently filling venues to capacity.
Andre’s popularity soon led to his own TV special followed
by a TV series and now he has launched his first book which is available at
shows only.
His show has taken him up Africa across Australia and into
countries few would venture – including Zimbabwe where technically, hypnotizing
someone is a crime.
Andre has selected some of the best material he could find
in order to ensure that his audience is provided with two hours of
side-splitting fun, laugher and stress-reducing entertainment when he returns
to Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre as he brings more of his dry wit,
crowd-pleasing routines, strange humour and a heap of new acts. With no two
shows ever being the same, not even Andre knows what to expect from the group
of volunteers from his audience who are invited to act in strange, weird and
wonderful ways.
Andre would like to remind theatre-goers that he will not
drag, pull or in any way coerce patrons to take part in the show. If an evening
of good, old-fashioned family fun is all you want Andre will let you enjoy the
show without the risk of becoming the star.
Andre will be at the UKZN Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre until September
28 with shows nightly from Wednesday to Saturday at 20h00 (Sunday at 15h00). Tickets
R90 (Wednesdays and Thursdays) and R100 Saturdays to Sundays) with R70 tickets
for students/pensioners available through Computicket on 08619158000
