About me
As a Professional Entertainer for 27 years, I have honed my comedy and hypnosis style through performing in clubs, hotels, cruise ships, and theatres. This extensive experience allows me to command a room instantly. I pride myself on stagecraft, comedic timing, and the ability to adapt to any audience, ensuring a memorable and engaging performance every time.
Decades of performing have shaped my unique approach:
- Stagecraft & Presence: I know how to command a room instantly, with honed pacing, timing, and body language. I adapt in real time, reading the energy in the room rather than relying on a script.
- Comedy Instincts: Years of work have sharpened my comedic timing. I understand when to let a silence hang and when to deliver the punchline, creating humour that resonates across cultures.
- Hypnotic Authority and Trust: Longevity in the business means audiences perceive me as credible and safe. I have a warm yet commanding style, vital for encouraging volunteers.
- Adaptability: Performing in diverse settings, from pubs to cruise theatres, has taught me to scale my show for any venue.
- Professionalism and Resilience: My years of entertainment experience equip me to handle unexpected challenges with discipline.
The result is a show that is not just hypnosis with laughs, but a blend of a comedian's instinct, a hypnotist's mastery, and an entertainer's lifelong polish.
Connecting With The Audience
I thrive on the instant feedback loop – the laughter, the gasps, and the applause. That live energy makes every show unique and reminds me why I chose the stage. Within minutes, I transform a room full of strangers into a group sharing an inside joke.
I love seeing ordinary people step into extraordinary roles. The moment when a shy volunteer becomes the star of the show is electric.
Keynote Speaker
I am also an established Keynote Speaker bringing a unique blend of storytelling, humour and life lessons to Corporate Events, Conferences and Special Gatherings.
My talks draw on a lifetime of experiences - from serving in the Royal Navy to performing on stages around the world - leaving audiences both inspired and entertained.
In addition to speaking engagements, I have lectured to Magic Clubs including the Prestigious Magic Circle.
I have performed in Nursing Homes bringing joy and laughter to the residents and have delivered engaging talks to Women's Community Meetings creating memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
My presentations combine entertainment, motivation, and a personal touch, ensuring every audience leaves uplifted and inspired
What Sets Me Apart
My approach to comedy and hypnosis differs from other performers in the UK. I'm a Performer first and a Hypnotist second. My volunteers leave the stage feeling like stars, not the butt of the joke. The balance of comedy and dignity ensures audiences laugh with people, not at them.
Key differentiators include:
- Performer First: Focus on entertainment and audience experience.
- Volunteer Dignity: Ensuring volunteers feel like stars.
- Magic Circle Membership: Unlike most UK hypnotists, I also perform Close Up Magic.
- Gameshows: Creator of unique gameshows like "Push the Buzzer" & "Dingo Bingo".
- Acting Background: TV credits add another layer of performance expertise.
Memorable Moments
One particularly funny and memorable moment from one of my shows is seeing the subjects' faces when they react to a command which they think is real, and the audience laughter is nothing but genius.
