The article notes: "Whose Line Is It Anyway performer Colin Mochrie and master hypnotist Asad Mecci's HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis opens at Off-Broadway's Daryl Roth Theatre August 22, following previews August 12.

The audience erupted in laughter,' signifying its widespread appeal and comedic effectiveness.^[2] Dan Stahl of The New Yorker offered a positive take, remarking, 'You can say yes to "Hyprov" without fear of the show putting you to sleep—unless, that is, you volunteer for it,’ highlighting the show's engaging and entertaining nature.^[3] Grace Robinson of Varsity admitted, 'Real or not, it was most certainly a hell of a lot of fun,' giving it 4 out of 5 stars.^[4]
