For anybody interested in seeing me perform at Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year, here is a list of everywhere I’ll be performing.
My main show is ‘Strictly Come Traning’ Hypnosis Show with PBH’s Free Fringe, running for 23 days in the Liquid Rooms at 13:35 and 5 evenings in La Belle Angele. Other listings are for numerous Mind Reading guest spot in variety shows and panel shows. I’ll have a residency at Southside Cabaret most nights at 21:00 in The Street. I’ll try to keep this updated accurately, please get in contact or any more info.
‘Strictly Come Trancing’ 2016 has a number of exciting selling points to make it a unique experience at the Fringe. On top of being last year’s only hypnosis show and starting a trend that has led to a number of others appearing this year, I will be the first ever hypnotist to experiment with freewill under hypnosis on stage, giving volunteers the opportunity to select which suggestion they follow at certain points. I’ll also be offering boosts in confidence and morale to all volunteers – especially useful to Fringe performers who may need help with their work-rate and outlook during the Festival. ‘Strictly Come Trancing’ also stays fresh and modern, with sketches dedicated to the 2016 Olympics and Star Wars (please see below for sneak preview)
Fans of ITV’s ‘Take Me Out’ will also recognise me from my role on it this winter – my appearance being well chronicled in my Take Me Out Blog
