WIN: Hilarious hypnotist heads for Durban

PERENNIALLY mesmerising master of SA stage craft, Andre The Hilarious Hypnotist returns to Durban.

Twenty six years in any industry is a long time. But Andre is still going strong.

He began his career in Durban. He’d spend the school holidays touring the various caravan parks up and down the east coast plying his trade to holidaymakers until he was spotted by the then well-known promoter, Geoff Egnoss, who helped make Andre a household name.

Initially trained under the mentorship of the late Max Collie, Andre has performed across South Africa, its bordering countries and as far afield as Australia.

He is the first to admit that South Africans, though incredibly funny, are very shy when it comes to volunteering to come on stage during his acts.

Coupled with this, is the restraint that Andre exercises over the content of his shows. His are mild in comparison with those of his American counterparts.

And it is here that this legendary entertainer believes the success of his show lies. What he offers his audience is pure family friendly fun.

The showman provides an 80-minute feel-good act from start to finish, welcoming his voluntary guests onstage to become the stars of the show – not the embarrassment of the evening.
