Gerard V

Gerard V has done more than 700 comedy hypnosis shows over 20 years, across Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Papua New Guinea. Here's how a night runs. A short funny intro that plays like stand-up and gets people leaning in. Then he asks for volunteers, and gets far more hands than you'd expect. The hypnosis happens in front of everybody, and then the gags start. Nobody is dragged up. Volunteers come by choice and the whole room is in on the joke, which is why it works for corporate nights, conferences, sporting clubs and licensed venues. Clients include Toyota, Telstra, Deloitte and Collingwood FC. Shows run 45, 60, 75 or 90 minutes, and he'll take the MC duties too. Melbourne based.
