Most hypnotists are somewhere between actor, comedian, and conman. But Ricky Kalmon insists he's much more than a two-bit carnival hack, stating his performance is “more than a comedy show—it’s an experience!” For more than twenty years, Kalmon has amazed audiences with his ability to make people doze off, wake up and cluck like a chicken, dance like an idiot and so on. Participants are chosen at random from the audience, so if you've always wondered to what degrees your subconscious mind is capable of embarrassing you, attending Kalmon's Improv appearance is a must. Perhaps best of all, this show will be taped for a future television special—so if you end up onstage doing a hula dance, it's for for all the world to see. Or at least a percentage of it.
