Hypnotist Sebastian Steel

Hypnotist Sebastian Steel – Saturday, March 31st at The Lido

 

 

Hypnosis is the most unique form of entertainment around. With some stand up comedy and improv acting, you will truly discover what the Sebastian Steel show is all about!

 

THIS IS AN ADULT ONLY SHOW:  19+

 

Sebastian Steel was first introduced to Hypnosis twelve years ago by a former hypnotist. After studying under him extensively, Sebastian’s fascination for this 'art' compelled him to vastly study the field of hypnosis. As a result, Sebastian has been successfully hypnotizing people ever since. Now, over a decade later, Sebastian has taken his experience in the entertainment industry, and his extensive understanding of the human mind and hypnosis, and compiled it into two hours plus, of comedy, drama, magic, music, and improvisation that leaves his audiences in stitches and on the edge of their seats in amazement and coming back for more.


Sebastian Steel has been performing in the entertainment industry for seventeen years. He has been trained in improv acting, television, radio, stage, and stand up comedy. Sebastian's hypnosis show has been rated one of the top three acts in Western Canada, and been the consistent act at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club every week for three years. He now has the longest running show in North America. With Sebastian Steel's background you can guarantee a night of non-stop laughter.

 

Sebastian has over 13 shows with 26 hours of suggestions, so you know you will experience a new and exciting show each time.
