Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour Opens at MGM Grand

The Underground Theater

Hypnosis comedy lives and dies on crowd energy. A 2,000-seat arena would kill what makes it work — the spontaneity, the close-quarters reaction, the sense that anyone in the room could end up on stage. The Underground Theater at MGM Grand is an intimate, nightclub-adjacent space, and that fits the format.

When the entire show is unscripted and the performers are audience members, smaller rooms stay in it. People can see faces. Reactions land. A $49 ticket in a room like this buys a different experience than the same ticket would in a 1,500-seat theater down the Strip.

What the Three Ticket Tiers Buy

General Admission at $49++ gets you in the door, a seat, and the post-show meet-and-greet. Most comparable productions either charge for it separately or skip it entirely.

Prime at $69++ is preferred seating. Modest upgrade, modest price difference.

The VIP tier at $89++ gets you into the “Volunteer Zone,” seating positioned for the best shot at being selected to participate. You are not buying a guaranteed experience on stage. You are buying better odds. Whether $40 above General Admission is worth that depends entirely on whether you want to watch the show or be in it. If your group came specifically to see one person get hypnotized, the VIP math makes sense. If you are generally curious, General Admission is fine.

Falcon's Background

Six years in Myrtle Beach. Over 1,000 shows. More than 10,000 volunteers hypnotized. Hypnosis comedy is a format where repetition sharpens the craft in ways that straight stand-up does not replicate. You learn to read crowds fast, redirect when a bit stalls, and work with whoever the audience gives you.

The move to MGM Grand, produced by Ivory Star Productions, tests whether the format scales to Vegas tourist demographics: bachelor and bachelorette parties, convention groups, birthday crowds. R-rated adult content keeps production overhead low. No elaborate set, no band, no scripted material to rehearse.

Brad Garrett's Comedy Club operates out of the same property. MGM Grand now has two distinct comedy options under one roof. Whether those booking calendars complement each other or start competing for the same convention groups will show up in the numbers by fall.

For tickets, the MGM Grand box office handles reservations directly or by phone at 866-799-7711. Check Ivory Star Productions for their broader Strip lineup.
