Andre the Hilarious Hypnotist
Andre the Hilarious Hypnotist's promotional DVD arrived this morning, and I had a great laugh watching and editing it down to a small snippet for all to sample - Andre is Hilarious!Its one of those types of comedies that has the audience laughing their heads off at their friends, colleagues, bosses, or just the poor person who was happy enough to volunteer to get up on stage. But while laughing you can't help feeling sorry for them at the same time; where the toughest men pamper and shower eachother with affection and love; the shiest person will dance and wave their arms in the air as if they were alone at home in front of the mirror - in fact even more than what you would normally do in your own company!
There is a beautiful piece where all the volunteers are told to be celebrities acting like sprinklers; tap-tap-tap-taktaktaktak'ing away in the various styles available from your local gardening centre. Then they have to become goldfish (that's not the band...) swinging away from a shark (that's not the rugby team...) inside a goldfish-bowl! And with some many people up on stage, there is a hive of activity as the audience tries to take in all the interpretations of each command - this is an awesome show!
