His comedy hypnosis show is one of the most reliable crowd-builders in the fair entertainment circuit — with audiences arriving early, staying late, and returning the next day with friends in tow.
A Show Built for the Fairground Stage
The fairground grandstand is where Boris thrives. His show is built for outdoor and open-air environments — loud, fast, visual, and packed with energy that carries across a large crowd. Fair guests become the cast, performing hilarious improvisational scenarios directed by Boris while the grandstand fills with uncontrollable laughter. The show works at any scale, from an intimate variety stage to a full grandstand audience of thousands.
Multiple Shows Daily — Competitive Multi-Show Pricing
Boris regularly performs two to four shows per day during fair runs. Multi-show bookings are encouraged and priced competitively.

This built-in repeat attendance multiplies the impact of every booking across the full run of your event.
Minimal Production, Maximum Crowd Impact
The show requires a stage with stairs to the audience, a quality sound system, and chairs for volunteers on stage. No elaborate set, no large production crew, and no complex technical setup. Boris's team handles everything else.
