Corporate Holiday Party Entertainment
A Clean, Hilarious Hypnosis Show for Your Company Christmas or Year-End Party
The Holiday Party Your Team Keeps Talking About
Most company holiday parties run the same way. Dinner, a few speeches, a DJ, and then people start heading home. A comedy hypnosis show changes the night.
Volunteers from your own team take the stage. Everyone else watches their coworkers become the stars. The laughter is real, and the whole room shares it. That shared moment is what your staff will still be talking about weeks later.
Boris Cherniak is a comedy hypnotist and keynote speaker. He has performed more than 10,000 shows in 35+ countries. He is a TEDx speaker, an author, a 3-time Entertainer of the Year and Hypnotist of the Year. He is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Toronto, Ontario, and he travels to your party.
Why a Hypnosis Show Works at a Company Holiday Party
- 100% clean. The show is made for corporate and family crowds. There is no adult content.
- Nobody gets embarrassed. Volunteers leave the stage with nothing to feel awkward about in front of their coworkers.
- Your own people are the show. Most shows start with 10 to 20 volunteers from the audience.
- Built around your company. Boris works your company references and inside jokes into the show at no extra charge.
- It works for a mixed crowd. The comedy is visual and physical, so it lands with staff, guests and international teams alike.
- It's easy for the planner. You need a sound system, a wireless microphone and chairs on stage. That's it.
- It ends on a high. The show closes with an upbeat message. It's a fitting way to thank your team for the year.

How to Fit the Show Into Your Party
- Schedule it after dinner. Volunteers come from the audience, and nobody should miss the meal.

- Don't pick the volunteers. Boris invites willing people from the audience. You never send a list.
- Aim for 50 or more guests. That is the guide for corporate events. The show scales up to 5,000.
- Check your date early. Send your date and city. The team replies with availability and pricing.

Pat on the Back for the Event Planner!
“'I laughed so hard I cried' and 'my face hurts from smiling so much' are some of the comments I received after our corporate holiday party with the Incredible Boris. The show was hilarious and kept us laughing the whole time. Boris Cherniak was the perfect entertainer for our party, lots of fun, but very professional. Our volunteers were hysterical but there was nothing for anyone to feel embarrassed about in front of their co-workers. Everyone had a great time, and as the party planner I looked great for creating such a memorable event.”

Talk of the Town — A Company Christmas Party to Remember
“Amazing performance during our year end company function. You not only entertained us but you also motivated our staff with your inspirational messages, which you craftily sprinkled through out your performance. It was a great way to end our fiscal year and rewarding our employees for a job well done. The Incredible Boris is all they spoke of during our company Christmas party that evening, therefore for me that meant 'mission accomplished' and for that I thank you. We look forward with anticipation to securing your services for company or charitable functions we organize in the future.”
