About the speaker
Colin Mochrie, a prolific Canadian and Scottish-born improviser, gained fame as a regular on the British TV show "Whose Line Is It, Anyway?" after auditioning successfully. He continued his success on the US version, appearing in every episode and the current revival on the CW Network. He has toured with fellow Whoser Brad Sherwood for 20 years, co-created the show "Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis" with Hypnotist Asad Mecci, and recently wrote his first collection of short stories, "Not Quite the Classics." Colin also won the Last One Laughing on Amazon Prime in 2021.
World-Renowned Hypnotist Asad Mecci's jaw dropping comedy hypnosis performances have captivated audiences worldwide. Over his 20+ year career on stage, he has performed in front of millions of people live and millions more through the media. His talents have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, the Chicago Tribune and on Entertainment Tonight, MTV, HGTV, and BBC. Born in Northern Ontario in 1975, Asad has always had a fascination with the power of the mind. He earned an Honours degree in Commerce from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, before starting his career as a hypnotist in 1998. Asad began performing his solo act, Hypnohype, at colleges and universities across North America, later expanding his reach to include cruise lines such as Carnival, Celebrity, and Disney. He is certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and has studied under the critically acclaimed hypnotist Mike Mandel.
