IF outrageous stories about ghosts and spirits weren’t enough, do not miss Robert Temple for his fast-paced, laugh-out-loud and hysterical The Hypnotist: Live and Outrageous show next Thursday.

Not for the easily offended, Robert Temple has dispensed with those worn out pocket watches and chicken routines and has developed a cutting-edge show, featuring incredible hypnosis and side-splitting sketches.

The 30-year-old comedy stage hypnotist said: “Nobody has ever done a show like this on a scale like this.

“The audience knows what’s in store when they buy a ticket and nobody is hypnotised against their will. It’s an evening where people can forget all about their inhibitions – literally.”

Tickets cost £19 and £17 for concessions. To book visit the Corporation Street Box Office, call 01744 756000 or visit sthelenstheatreroyal.com.
