Some background
Ten years ago, I was a enthusiastic wannabe comedy hypnotist entertainer, full of awesome aspirations and ideas, but with no experience or knowledge of where to actually start!
That’s why I’ve designed this course - to help individuals who are just starting on their own hypnotic journey of becoming a comedy stage hypnotist.
I’m sharing my years of experience so that my students can understand the challenges they will face, but more importantly, they will have a good plan of action to comfortably navigate these challenges.
The challenges I faced when first starting, and sometimes still even experience today, forced me to learn how to read the room, find new ways to better interact with the audience and gain rapport, and make sure I had a plan B ready in case I needed it!
All hypnotists starting out should aim for the stars, the big arenas, cruise ships, beautiful theatres with your own sound and lighting team! 100% yes! But the truth is, you will need to learn how to work the 'spit and sawdust' gigs first. To gain experience in this wonderful world of hypnosis, you must start at the bottom and hit a few 'educational walls'! This training course will prepare you fully for those walls!
We will teach you how to get from the training room to the stage, and all the pubs, clubs, events and holiday parks in between with confidence!
This course is 70% practical and 30% theory, and most of what we will cover will be hands on, so please be prepared to get stuck in!
Who is this course aimed at
This course is designed for individuals who have already started learning hypnosis and who understand the fundamentals of how hypnosis works. However, if you’re an enthusiastic newbie, and extremely eager to start learning stage hypnosis, I do offer online training that can bring you up to speed. Please contact me for further details.
