Post Prom & Grad Night Entertainment
A Clean, Hilarious Hypnosis Show for After-Prom Parties, Grad Nights and Project Graduation
The Part of the Night Students Talk About Afterward
Post prom committees have a hard job. The night has to be fun enough that seniors actually stay, and clean enough that every parent is comfortable. A comedy hypnosis show does both.
Students volunteer from the audience. Their classmates watch them become the stars of the night. The laughs are real, and they belong to your students, not to a performer telling jokes at them.
Boris Cherniak has performed at post proms and grad nights, along with school assemblies, graduation events and college campuses. He is a comedy hypnotist and keynote speaker with more than 10,000 shows in 35+ countries, a TEDx speaker, an author, a 3-time Entertainer of the Year and Hypnotist of the Year.
Why It Works for a Post Prom or Grad Night
- 100% clean. No adult content. The show is made for school and family audiences.
- Nobody is embarrassed. Volunteers leave the stage with nothing to feel awkward about in front of their classmates.
- Students volunteer, they are never pressured. Anyone who would rather watch simply watches.
- The students are the show. Most shows start with 10 to 20 volunteers from the audience.
- It holds a big room. The show works from about 50 students up to 5,000.
- It ends on a message. Boris closes on an upbeat note about what students can do when they put their minds to it — the same idea behind his book, You Can Do Anything.
- It is simple to run. A sound system, a wireless microphone and chairs on stage. No set, no crew.

Amazing Graduation Event Performance — Empowering and Fun
“The sheer volume of gleeful surprise and statements of wonder in regards to your performance, even days after the event continue to impress us all. We were especially pleased that everyone in the crowd were amused, amazed and filled with the joy of laughter as you miraculously transformed one of our most typically shy and retiring audience volunteers into the center of playful attention with your hypnotic abilities. Your professionalism, ease of access and incredible ability to work with the intricacies and specialized demands to meet our needs for the evening have put you at the top of our most beloved guests and for these reasons and many more we not only whole-heartedly have been telling our friends about you, but are looking forward to working with you again in the very near future.”

A School Tradition
“Boris was incredibly accommodating and made the booking process easy. He was organized, on time and guided us through the set up process with ease. He put on a fantastic show! His message was positive and motivational. Boris offered insight into the benefits of hypnosis and explained the process in a way that the students could understand. The students shared lots of laughs and left with the message that they can do anything that they put their minds to. Thanks for the great show!”
