Why Book Gerard V For Your Event?
The show is funny, clean, and runs to time. Gerard handles the details: if the event needs it, he brings professional sound and theatre lighting, so there's nothing for you to organise beyond the room and the chairs.
He has done this for over twenty years — staff parties of forty people through to high end conference dinners with hundreds of delegates. The format scales, the material stays clean, and everyone has a fantastic time.
Book him once and you'll see why he gets such great reviews.

What Do You Get?
A polished, relaxed and funny comedy stage hypnotist show. Family friendly material, lots of laughs.

You provide the venue, the people and the chairs (and a stage, for a big event). Gerard arranges the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is comedy hypnosis appropriate for corporate events?
Professional corporate hypnosis features:
- Clean, HR-appropriate content
- Only willing volunteers participate
- Respectful treatment of all participants
- Designed to energize without embarrassment
Gerard V has performed at hundreds of corporate conferences, gala dinners, and awards nights over 20+ years with consistently positive feedback.
Key selection criteria: Choose a hypnotist with corporate references, professional credentials, insurance coverage, and a proven track record with business audiences.

What happens if no one volunteers?
In nearly 20 years it has never happened. Every audience has people keen to get up — often more than there is room for.
The short introduction at the start of the show makes it clear what’s involved (and what isn’t), so people volunteer with confidence rather than being dragged up.
And no one is ever picked on or pulled from their seat. Only genuine volunteers go on stage.
How much does a comedy hypnotist cost in Australia?
Pricing depends on the show format and your location:
- Club and sporting club shows: $2,750–$3,150. Around 90% of club bookings come in under $3,000.
- Corporate events, conferences and gala dinners: $3,000–$3,750.
- [Company] Unleashed (customised corporate show): $4,500–$5,750.
Travel within approximately two hours of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide is included in the price. Regional and remote locations are quoted separately.
For full detail on what’s included, seasonal variation, and GST treatment, see the full pricing guide.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can. Popular dates fill up months ahead:
- Friday and Saturday nights
- End-of-year party season
- Sports club presentation nights
Two to three months’ notice is comfortable for most events.
That said, if your event is next week, ask anyway. Short-notice bookings happen regularly, and if the date is free and travel is workable, we will be there for you.
What does the venue need to provide?
Very little — the show is largely self-contained.
What Gerard V provides:
- Professional PA system, wireless microphones, and stage lighting for most events
- All technical setup and pack-down
What the venue needs to supply:
- A clear performance area — roughly 5m × 4m, at floor level or on a stage
- Seating for 15–25 volunteers on or near the stage (standard chairs are fine)
- At least one standard power outlet near the performance area
- Good sightlines from the audience to the performance space
Helpful but not required:
- A raised stage (floor level works fine for most shows)
- A green room or backstage area
- In-house AV technician
For very large events or locations outside the east coast capitals: Gerard V’s own system scales comfortably to around 350 people indoors. For larger events, or in locations where flying in PA isn’t practical, in-house or hired professional AV at the venue may be needed. This is discussed and confirmed at booking — it’s not something that catches anyone by surprise on the day.
