Myrtle Beach & the Grand Strand
If you are searching for a comedy hypnotist in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, or just for things to do at night on the Grand Strand, this is the late show locals send visitors to. The Comedy Hypnosis Hour plays inside Broadway at the Beach, the entertainment complex on Celebrity Circle, so you can have dinner, walk the boardwalk around Lake Broadway, and still make the 9:15 PM curtain.
Richard Barker is one of the most recognized comedy stage hypnotists working today, and for this limited engagement he is headlining in Myrtle Beach rather than touring. If you have seen a hypnosis show in Las Vegas, on a cruise ship, or at a corporate convention, this is the same act, performed a short walk from the Grand Strand.
It is an ideal night out for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, girls trips, golf groups, family reunions with adults only, work trips, and anyone who has run out of ideas after a day on the beach. Bring the friend who swears they cannot be hypnotized. They are usually the best part of the show.
Broadway at the Beach sits just off Highway 17 Bypass and 21st Avenue North, close to Myrtle Beach International Airport. Guests come from across Horry and Georgetown Counties, including North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, Little River, Atlantic Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Conway, Socastee, Carolina Forest, and the Market Common, as well as visitors staying anywhere along Ocean Boulevard.
