Birmingham is the engine room of British business. With the NEC hosting some of Europe's largest exhibitions, the ICC drawing international conferences, and Brindleyplace buzzing with corporate entertaining, the city demands entertainment that matches its ambition. A comedy hypnosis show delivers exactly that: high-impact, memorable, and completely unlike anything your delegates or guests have seen before.
Richard Barker brings over two decades of international stage experience to every Birmingham performance. His background as a former police detective and trained NLP practitioner means he commands a room with authority — whether it's a gala dinner for 500 at the ICC, a product launch at the NEC, or an intimate team-building event in the Jewellery Quarter.
Every show is built around the volunteers who step on stage, making each performance completely unique. Your guests become the stars, and the result is entertainment that's impossible to forget and guaranteed to be the talking point of your event.
From the NEC to Brindleyplace, comedy hypnosis delivers unforgettable entertainment across every event format in the West Midlands.
Annual dinners, black-tie awards ceremonies, and corporate galas at venues across the ICC, Brindleyplace, and Edgbaston. Richard has performed for FTSE 100 companies and international organisations, delivering polished after-dinner entertainment that energises the room and gives your event a truly unique centrepiece.
Birmingham is the UK's exhibition capital, and a comedy hypnosis show is the ultimate crowd-puller. Whether you need to draw footfall to your NEC stand, entertain delegates at a conference fringe event, or create a memorable brand experience at a product launch, a live hypnosis show stops people in their tracks.
Nothing breaks the ice like watching your colleagues volunteer on stage for a comedy hypnosis show. Richard's interactive format is perfectly suited to team-building events, away days, and company celebrations across Birmingham's business district and beyond.
A wedding hypnotist in Birmingham adds a completely unique talking point to your reception. Whether your venue is in the city centre, the Warwickshire countryside, or anywhere across the West Midlands, a comedy hypnosis show creates moments your guests will be retelling for years.
Completely. Richard is fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover, and every routine is conducted with full volunteer consent. No one is ever forced on stage, and participants can leave at any point.
As a member of professional stage hypnosis associations, Richard follows strict ethical guidelines that go beyond industry requirements. His background in criminal psychology and NLP means he is trained to recognise and respect boundaries, making his shows both thrilling to watch and entirely safe to participate in.
