High School Entertainment
30 years keeping
teen events safe, sober,
and unforgettable.
Grad nights, post-proms, assemblies, senior events. Let's find your date.
Check AvailabilityThis is the milestone they've worked four years for. After the ceremony and the photos, they want to actually celebrate. A comedy hypnosis show as the centerpiece of grad night gives students an unforgettable safe and sober alternative. All-night energy. Genuine laughter. Students who chose to be there.
Learn MoreWhen prom ends, the night doesn't have to. Post-prom is the most critical entertainment decision of the year. It's the difference between students staying safe and supervised and parents staring at the ceiling until 4am. A comedy hypnosis show gives students a genuine reason to stay.
Learn MoreSchool assemblies have a reputation for being the thing students endure. A comedy hypnosis assembly is the one they actually look forward to, and talk about for the rest of the year. The show can include an educational component exploring the science of the mind and how hypnosis works.
Learn MoreSenior breakfasts, banquets, and appreciation events are the last moments a class shares before everything changes. They deserve entertainment that matches the moment. Students who experience the show as underclassmen at an assembly often request it specifically for their senior events years later.
Learn MoreEvery year, schools call us to help raise money for playgrounds, libraries, gym equipment, sports programs, teacher supplies, and more. A comedy hypnosis fundraiser combines genuine entertainment with a strategic event structure designed to maximize giving. We've helped schools raise millions across the country.
Learn MoreAsk anyone who was ever hypnotized at a high school event where it happened. They remember. These are the stories that come up at the ten-year reunion, the twenty-year reunion, and every year in between. If your class wants to recreate that moment for a reunion, we do that too.
Learn MoreGraduation happens once. Make it the kind of night they still talk about at the reunion.
Check AvailabilityGrad night entertainment exists to give seniors a reason to stay. Not a DJ in a gym. Not a movie on a projector. The show that makes the entire graduating class look at each other at 1am and say "this was the best night of senior year." That's what a comedy hypnosis show delivers, and it's why schools from Seattle to San Diego, Portland to Phoenix, and everywhere between the Cascades and the California coast have made it the centerpiece of their grad night programming.
We've anchored grad nights across Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona for over thirty years. Schools in Spokane, Tacoma, Eugene, Sacramento, Boise, Billings, and Las Vegas come back year after year because students ask for the show by name. The formula is simple: one performer, one stage, two hundred seniors who chose to be there, and a night none of them will forget.
Grad night committees start planning in September and October for May and June events. Peak spring dates fill fast, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, where graduation schedules cluster in the same two-week window. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility you have on dates and pricing.
Post-prom entertainment is the most consequential booking decision a parent committee makes all year. It's the difference between students staying safe and supervised in one place and parents lying awake wondering where their kid actually went after the dance. Comedy hypnosis solves the problem entirely. Nobody leaves early when their best friend is on stage doing something nobody expected.
Post-prom is the dominant safe-and-sober event format across Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. Schools in Des Moines, Omaha, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Sioux Falls, Fargo, and hundreds of rural communities in between have built their post-prom traditions around live entertainment that actually holds the room. We perform at post-proms that run from 11pm to 3am, and students stay for every minute.
The post-prom calendar peaks in April and May across the Midwest. Parent committees that book in the fall get priority dates. If your school's post-prom committee is just forming, now is the time to lock in entertainment before the spring rush.
School assemblies have a well-earned reputation as the hour students endure between second and fourth period. A comedy hypnosis assembly is the exception. It's the one students look forward to, the one teachers talk about in the lounge, and the one that generates more hallway conversation than homecoming. We perform assemblies for all grade levels and all school sizes, from 200-student rural high schools in Wyoming and Montana to 2,000-student suburban campuses in Denver, Minneapolis, and Dallas.
Every assembly can include an educational component exploring the science of suggestion, the mechanics of the subconscious mind, and how hypnosis actually works. This gives administrators and curriculum coordinators more than "it was fun." It gives them an answer when someone asks what the educational value was. Safe, sober, age-appropriate programming that keeps students genuinely engaged, curious, and laughing.
Assembly schedules are flexible year-round. Many schools book assemblies as homecoming week entertainment, spirit week programming, end-of-year celebrations, or reward events for academic achievement. Contact us to discuss format, timing, and how the show adapts to your school's schedule.
Senior events are the last shared experiences a graduating class has before everything changes. Senior breakfasts, senior banquets, senior appreciation days, class award ceremonies. These are the moments that define how a class remembers its final weeks together. They deserve entertainment that rises to the occasion, not a playlist and a slideshow.
Students who experience the show as freshmen or sophomores at an assembly often request it specifically for their senior events years later. That's not coincidence. It's a show that earns its place in a school's tradition. We've performed at senior celebrations from Anchorage to Albuquerque, from Salt Lake City to St. Louis, and everywhere in between.
Every year, schools call us to help raise money for playgrounds, libraries, gym equipment, sports programs, teacher supplies, and more. A comedy hypnosis fundraiser isn't entertainment with a donation bucket at the door. It's a full benefit event strategy built around getting your community in the room, keeping them laughing, and giving them a genuine reason to give generously.
We've helped schools raise millions of dollars across the country. From PTA fundraisers in suburban Chicago and Indianapolis to booster club events in small-town Texas and Colorado, the pattern is the same: the show creates the energy, the energy creates the giving, and the community walks away feeling like they got more than they gave. If your school needs to raise real money for a real need, this is the conversation worth having.
Ask anyone who was ever hypnotized at a high school event where it happened. They remember. These are the stories that come up at the ten-year reunion, the twenty-year reunion, and every year in between. The student who got on stage and became the funniest person in the room that night is still the person their classmates talk about decades later.
If your class saw a comedy hypnosis show at grad night and wants to recreate that moment for your reunion, we do that. A comedy hypnosis show for a 10 or 20-year class reunion is exactly the kind of event that reminds everyone why they loved their class in the first place. We've performed at class reunions in Portland, Boise, Rapid City, Kansas City, and dozens of communities where the graduating class never forgot the night they got hypnotized. Call us. The conversation is worth having.
Every routine is designed around three principles: respect for every volunteer on stage, entertainment that engages without embarrassing, and content that is completely appropriate for school settings with parents and administrators watching. We have performed at high schools for over thirty years without a single content complaint.
Safe On Stage, the hypnosis industry's only nationwide safety training program for stage hypnosis performers, was created by Justin James in 2008. Physical safety, content standards, volunteer handling, and ethical performance practices are the foundation of every show. Full professional liability insurance is carried on every engagement. Certificates of insurance are available to contracted schools upon request.
May and June are the busiest months in the high school entertainment calendar. Grad nights and post-prom events across the country compete for the same dates, and quality entertainment books fast. Schools planning June events are typically reaching out in October and November of the prior year. That's when peak spring dates fill on our calendar.
For assemblies, senior events, and fundraisers outside the spring window, timelines are more flexible. Whether your school is in Anchorage, Albuquerque, or anywhere in between. Contact us directly and we'll confirm what's available. The earlier you reach out, the more choices you have. And if something has come up at the last minute, call us. We've made it work before.
Is the content really appropriate for a high school audience?
Yes. We've performed over 10,000 shows across 30+ years with zero content complaints. Our show content is always G-rated. No profanity, no inappropriate suggestions, no embarrassment tactics. We rate ourselves G through PG-13 because we can't script every word a hypnotized volunteer might spontaneously say, but our job is to redirect and manage the show so it stays completely appropriate. The standard is a show administrators have zero complaints about on Monday morning.
What makes this a good safe and sober event?
Safe and sober programming works when students genuinely want to be there, not because they're required to, but because the entertainment is compelling enough to compete with everything else they could be doing. A comedy hypnosis show is drug and alcohol-free by nature and by design. It's high-energy, genuinely funny, and keeps students engaged for the entire performance without a moment of downtime. Nobody is sneaking out when their classmates are on stage doing something nobody expected.
Is hypnosis safe for teenagers?
Completely. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, similar to being absorbed in a great movie. We use no physical stunts, no fear-based scenarios, and no suggestions that could cause distress. Volunteers participate willingly and can choose to stop at any time. Participation is never forced. The Hypnosis Company's founder created Safe On Stage in 2008, the industry's only nationwide safety training program for stage hypnosis performers, specifically to ensure these standards exist and are maintained.
How long is the show?
Our standard show runs 60 to 90 minutes. Most clients land around 75 minutes, which is the sweet spot for high school events. For assembly programs with tight schedules, we can condense to 45 to 50 minutes. For grad night lock-ins where we're the featured entertainment, we can extend to the full 90. We work with your event structure. Just tell us what you need.
How many students can participate on stage?
We typically bring 20 to 30 volunteers on stage, with an average of about 25. Depending on the size of the stage and the size of the group, we can work with up to 40. Students self-select to volunteer. We never force participation. Generally we have more students wanting to participate than space allows, which is exactly the energy you want.
Do students need permission slips?
Most schools don't require permission slips because our show is entertainment, not a clinical procedure. Some schools prefer to include information about the show in their general event forms. We're happy to provide language you can use and answer parent questions in advance. We're always available to speak directly with parents who have concerns.
How far in advance should we book?
For grad nights, post-proms, and senior events in the spring, reach out in the fall of the prior year. October and November are when peak spring dates fill fastest. That said, we have several entertainers on our roster and can accommodate most requests. For assemblies and events outside the spring window, contact us directly. If something has come up at the last minute, call us. We've made it work before.
Can you help our school raise money?
Yes. We offer professional fundraising services for schools and school-affiliated organizations, including benefit auctioneering, event hosting, and full fundraiser coordination. Many of our school fundraisers don't involve a comedy show at all. We've helped schools raise millions across the country for playgrounds, equipment, supplies, and more. If your school needs to raise real money for a real need, contact us to talk through what a fundraiser looks like for your community.
Graduation happens once. Post-prom is one night. The assembly they'll still be laughing about next year starts with one phone call. Let's make it happen.
