Why Hire a Comedy Hypnotist for Glasgow Events?

Glasgow audiences are legendary. The city that gave the world Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges, and some of the most electric live comedy venues anywhere has a reputation for audiences that bring the energy, the banter, and an absolute refusal to sit quietly. That makes Glasgow the perfect city for a comedy hypnosis show — because the better the audience, the better the show.

Richard Barker brings over two decades of international stage experience to every Glasgow performance. His background as a former police detective and trained NLP practitioner means he thrives in high-energy environments, feeding off the crowd's enthusiasm and channelling it into a show that's fast-paced, hilarious, and completely unpredictable.

Every show is built entirely around the volunteers who step on stage. No scripts, no planted stooges — just real Glasgow punters creating moments of genuine comedy gold that have the entire room in stitches.
