Gerard V was perfect for what we were after. The team had a blast - very funny and captivating entertainment!

Sam Collins - Gold Coast Suns AFL Team

Gerard V joined us for our annual Foundation Day event in Melbourne, and I’ll admit I was initially sceptical about how well a lunchtime session would engage the team. Boy, was I wrong!

Gerard has a natural gift for making everyone feel at ease, seamlessly blending humour into his performance. The entire team was in stitches, and the laughter carried on well into the evening—and even resurfaced the following Monday. You know an event is a hit when it’s still the talk of the office days later.

I would have no hesitation in booking Gerard V again for future corporate events, confident he would be a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all audiences.

Leanne Trueman - Time & Place Pty

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (from laughter) and may even give birth to twins! Gerard V’s hypnotist show is an amazing, clean & wholesome fun event. Highly recommend for a corporate event or any occasion.

Paul Hansen - MOR Accountants - Ballarat

Thank you for your awesome entertainment at Vodafone on Friday the 13th, our members had a wonderful time!

Gina Compston - Vodafone Social Club

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from a comedic hypnotist, but Gerard’s show blew me away! Watching colleagues do the most hilarious things under hypnosis made for an unforgettable night. If you’re looking for a unique and outrageously funny experience, Gerard’s show is the show to see! It’s the kind of comedy that leaves you grinning for days afterward!”

Shanna Sheldrick - Premier Event Concepts

“Gerard V was a highlight of our conference event! His performance was not only hilarious but also incredibly engaging. Our Almond Board of Australia conference delegates were thoroughly entertained. Gerard’s ability to captivate and involve the audience made for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend him for any event looking to add a touch of fun and laughter!”

Louisa Godden - Almond Board of Australia

Our club were looking for a hypnotist to fill a cancellation in one of our social events. Gerard came highly recommended.

After a couple of phone calls, where we found him to be incredibly accomodating and easy to organise everything with, we booked him.

The event became booked out quickly and on the night we sold extra tickets. Our club are so grateful he could help us out, we had so much fun. Gerard was great with the crowd and had the volunteer chairs all filled quickly.

Many said at the end, they wished they’d got up and they would next time. Cant wait for the next time!

Would highly recommend Gerard V for your next function.

Megan Vuillermin - Fish Creek Football Netball Club

Gerard V’s show was an absolute hit with our team. We had so many people keen to get up on stage and get involved which was great to see. The light hearted antics he had those hypnotised dong had our team in fits of laughter from start to finish.

Even the sceptics had smiles on their faces as they enjoyed the show! It was the best entertainment for our work conference event.

Lauren Baddock - Client Relationship Manager, IVE Group

We recently used Gerard V for our work birthday party.  We found Gerard professional and funny.  The night was hilarious and staff loved the event.  They are still talking about it!   Would highly recommend for any function

Ali Binskin - CEO - Lavender Plan Management

Wow! What an incredible experience! Gerard V’s show was absolutely hilarious, engaging, and loads of fun! From start to finish, we were captivated by the mesmerising performance and couldn’t stop laughing. His unique blend of humour and mind-boggling hypnosis had us on the edge of our seats the entire time.

It was amazing to see our friends transformed into hilarious characters, and the interactive nature of the show made it even more memorable. If you’re looking for an unforgettable evening filled with laughter and entertainment, I highly recommend catching Gerard V’s show. You won’t be disappointed!

Kelly Woodruff - Domain Holdings

“What a fantastic, fun-filled night! We had never done anything like this before, we came as a family of five with teenage children… To be honest I went along for my daughter’s birthday and to get some ‘funny photos of the kids’ but low and behold I find myself on stage thrusting my hips and jiving around becoming a ‘washing machine’ on stage. What a laugh! What fun and entertainment! The kids absolutely loved it, the magic of it all, and to say it was a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks Gerard we will definitely remember this for a long time to come!”

Angie Pearson - Benalla

Sue Balchin - SPAR Retail

Not only was Gerard V entertaining, but he is also extremely professional & accommodating. He certainly does go the extra mile to ensure our night was a success.

Gerard thrilled guests at our annual awards dinners with rave reviews. ‘Best dinner ever’, ‘Fantastic to see people we know up on stage entertaining us’, and the big one: ‘What was it like? Do you remember anything?’.

Our dinner falls in the middle of a trade fair weekend and it was all anyone was talking about the next day.

What a highlight. Highly recommend to liven up any event!

I highly recommend “That Hypno Show” to any organisation. It is a great team building exercise and a great night out.

Had the best night ever, hired Gerard a comedian hypnotist for my husband’s birthday with family and a few close friends, he was fantastic and had the crowd in stitches the whole time, thanks for a great night Gerard, see you next year

Mandy Schiller

We were in a spot of bother looking for someone for our Christmas party during Covid restrictions & who would give us great entertainment while doing something that not a lot of us had experienced.

We were very fortunate to get hold of Gerard V & what a blast we had, fantastic entertainer & entertainment had by all of us & the show went for a good period of time.

Staff didn’t stop talking about it for days later, staff who didn’t attend were envious.

Craig Nolan - Godolphin Osbourne Racing

Riverina Water were lucky enough to recently experience the Gerard V Comedy Hypnotist show for our annual Christmas Party.

From planning right through to execution on the night everything was a made an ease by Gerard.

The diversity of our organisation was absolutely no issue with all staff in hysterics from the moment Gerard commenced. All feedback from staff has been positive, with some staff requesting we get Gerard back in the future! I could not recommend Gerard enough for your next corporate event!

Emily Tonacia - Riverina Water

Fantastic show at our work Christmas party last night 5/12/2020. I’m a bit of a skeptic but after last night I’m not anymore ! Was so cool to watch his performance and what he got them to do was amazing and so funny. Would definitely hands down see another show if I had the chance. 100% recommend him for any functions you may have coming up !

Amy Leigh - Godolphin Osbourne Racing

We were absolutely delighted by Gerard’s Comedy Hypnotist show at our 2019 Sunshine Toyota Christmas party. During the planning of the party, Gerard let us know that the more people that volunteered to be hypnotised- the better! Our team were really keen and we had lots of volunteers and it made for the funniest night that the team are still talking about! The whole room was in hysterics watching the antics of our hypnotised co-workers! The best part was that the show was completely G-Rated, making it suitable for all kinds of events and functions. I would not hesitate to recommend Gerard, his show was so memorable and he was a pleasure to work with.

I was at the Penske Christmas party at the Atura hotel on Saturday night, and participated on stage in your show. Thank you for putting on a great show, it was the highlight of the night. It’s been the hot topic of discussion at work this morning.

Craig Weekes - Penske Power Systems

What a great night out! I watched the first half of the show in awe with stomach grabbing laughter and then I volunteered myself to go under the spell of hypnotism. What an experience, it felt surreal! When I watched back the video of myself I can’t remember any of it. Definitely recommend seeing Gerard perform at one of his shows and why not put yourself under his spell and see for yourself. Thanks for a fantastic night!

Fiona Grima - Ballarat

From Google Reviews

The show in Mudgee was amazing, more people should have come along. The whole show was hysterical. I’d definitely love to book Gerard and Andy for an event.

Thank you for being the entertainment at the Ararat Rotary 90th Birthday Celebrations on Saturday 31st August 2019.

Let me start by saying I, and many others have never laughed so hard and so long in a very long time

At first I was a little worried about the number of volunteers you would get to come up from the audience, but I was amazed at the amount of people that decided to give being hypnotised a go. That came down to the way in which you worked the crowd, you weren’t pushy or made anyone feel uncomfortable. I guess this comes down to your years of experience.

The show itself was entertaining and hilarious. I never thought I would see so many Rotarians (especially older people) enjoying themselves so much.

We have had so much wonderful feedback from everyone, they have all said it was a great night, and thanking us for giving them such a lite hearted and funny evening.

We were so pleased with the success of the night. Due to the content of the show being catered to the particular audience of the night, I would recommend your show to any group wanting to provide a show that will suit all ages, and if ‘The Ararat Rotary Club’ wants to hold a community fundraising event in the future, we would certainly hope we could book you again.

Victoria Laugesen - The Rotary Club of Ararat

Absolutely loved it! Had a ball.

“Our crowd was a big mix of young and old, skeptics and believers, and Gerard masterfully entertained and wowed us all. I haven’t had such a good laugh in a long time. But apart from its pure entertainment value, the show stimulated fascinating discussions well into the night, on the power of the subconscious and the human ability to change. We’ve been talking about it ever since. Gerard was very accommodating and understanding of the particular needs of our community, and tailored the show just for us. Amazing job! Thanks Gerard!”

Rabbi Moss - Nefesh

“Gerard was an absolute hit, professional and easy to work with and really knew how to work the crowd, if you’re looking for some no stress entertainment full of laughs and fun give Gerard a call. We look forward to having him back again.”

Jarred Lee - FedUni Living Administrative Officer

Funniest night the Dees have had in a long time!

[I] just wanted to thank you so very much for a very entertaining night. I thoroughly enjoyed your show, and the feed back I have had from our guests was amazing. Your preparation to making the whole show go smoothly is a credit to you. Once again thank-you so very much for making our fundraiser a very successful evening. Wishing you all well he best in the future.

Anne-Marie Brennan - Kokoda Youth Fundraiser (Organiser)

We had Gerard V come to Boisdale Briagolong Football Netball Club and he was unbelievable. The show was hilarious, everyone was in laughter all through out the show. Gerard’s show is a very clean funny show. I highly recommend Gerard he is great and was affordable for our small country club.

Rachel Weatherley - Boisdale Briagolong Football Netball Club

It was a fantastic funny night. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment at Biosdale Briag Footy Netball Club.

Tracie Binger

Gerard V provided us with a hilarious night of fun! Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking him again soon!

Mel Street - Bee Bop Dance

“I was not a believer, but last night changed that!

This show was so good, the night is so much fun!

Great job Hypnotist Gerard V”

“It was a brilliant night!”

“Had the best sleep!”

“Absolutely gold! Shall never be forgotten.”

Was awesome being hypnotised. Thanks so much Gerard, loved it and have felt amazing ever since :-). Kellie

Thanks mate for a cracking show at Toronto RSL last night!

Wow! What a show.

Hilarious, not confronting, pure entertainment..

The volunteers and audience were fully committed to the performance. I saw it all unfold and it’s just amazing. One minute they were conventional everyday people and the next they were dancing with free abandon…What just happened? Gerard V is a very interesting character and easy to talk to and no doubt a pure entertainer.

“Gerard came to my home to entertain my guests for my 60th Birthday. He was fantastic and certainly a big hit on the night. I have since received many messages from the guests saying it was the most memorable and funny party they have ever been to. He certainly made the night extra special for me. Super funny and very entertaining. Loved it.”

Susan Enders - Cranbourne

This was a small group show for about 40 family members.

We have hired Gerard twice now for our team events. Second time was just as good as the first. Gerard is very accommodating and nothing is too hard. He isn’t your typical hypnotist (all of that hocus pocus BS) he is very relatable and well – quite normal! Great work Gerard and we will have you back again.

Brianna Keogh - Cobild Construction

“Swan Hill North Primary School Parents Club held a community fundraiser hosting Gerard V. It was fun, entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable for all that came. I did not see one person not having a good time. He made the show highly amusing but in a way where guests of the event were very comfortable joining in on stage. I would definitely recommend Gerard V as a hypnotist if you are looking for a fantastic night out with a great group of people.”

Kristy Burney - School Parents’ Association

“I haven’t laughed that hard for ages.

It was so funny I was crying.”

Amy Wilkins - Midwest Fabrication (Hypnotist SHow Brisbane)
