Andre goes out with a bang

Andre The Hilarious Hypnotist is a firm favourite to chase away the New Year Blues.

This January is no different as he returns to The Studio Theatre at Montecasino from Wednesday until February 23 – but this time it’s as part of his Farewell Tour.

After 28 years in the industry, this will be the last time Joburg audiences will enjoy Andre, pictured, in action.

Andre will be hanging up his colourful coat as he leaves our shores to practise his hypnosis on other willing participants abroad.

But he wanted to entertain the Jozi audiences one last time – more especially at the Pieter Toerien Theatre & Studio at Montecasino – which has been his January home for the past 10 years.

“I want to thank the Joburg audiences who have supported me in my career; those who have volunteered on stage and those who sat and laughed out loud. Each one a person without which I would never have had a career,” Andre says.

“There aren’t many performers who can look back at a stage career spanning this length, but I have that privilege.

“It has been a mixed bag of magic where some shows just flowed and others where it required a little more work to make it happen.

“No matter how you look at it, we made magic in Joburg and I hope that I can return one day and together we will make magic again. But for now, I plan to go out with a bang!”

Andre combines his skills in comedy and hypnosis to create a 2-hour show of side-splitting entertainment suitable for all ages.
