The main event here is not a quiet demonstration of hypnosis. Steve Falcon’s Comedy Hypnosis Hour is a late-night adult comedy show built around volunteers, quick jokes, mentalism, audience influence, and increasingly wild stage antics. Some people watch from their seats. Others may end up acting out suggestions under the lights.

I like the small-theater setting, which helps the audience feel involved even when you stay in your chair. I also like the chance to meet Steve Falcon and take photos afterward, a nice extra for a one-hour show. The main caution is the humor: this is openly R-rated entertainment with strong language, sexual innuendo, and unscripted moments.

Key points to know

  • A 75-minute adult show: You must be 18 or older, and the comedy can be crude and strongly worded.
  • Audience participation matters: You can volunteer to go on stage, but you can also watch from your seat.
  • Hypnosis is not guaranteed for everyone: Some willing participants respond strongly, while others remain in the audience or do not enter the hypnotic state.
  • Late start, easy evening plan: The show begins at 9:15 p.m. at Charles Bach Wonders Theatre in Broadway at the Beach.
  • Good production value: Lighting, sound, music, and stage effects support the comedy and hypnosis.
  • Post-show contact: The ticket includes a meet and greet with Steve Falcon and photo opportunities.

What Steve Falcon’s 75-minute show is really like

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - What Steve Falcon’s 75-minute show is really like

Steve Falcon presents this as a rapid-fire comedy experience rather than a formal lecture about hypnosis. The program mixes mentalism, influence, comedy, music, stage lighting, and hypnosis demonstrations. The pace is meant to keep moving, with one audience moment leading into the next.

The most important thing to understand is that the volunteers are part of the entertainment, not a side feature. Falcon brings willing people onto the stage and gives them suggestions designed to create comic situations. The humor comes from watching ordinary people react in unusual ways, often with the audience laughing at the contrast between the volunteer’s normal personality and the behavior prompted on stage.

You do not need to volunteer to enjoy the show. In fact, some people will have more fun watching a partner, friend, or stranger take part. The show also allows for different levels of participation, so someone who feels curious but nervous can attend without promising to go on stage.

Hypnosis itself is a personal matter. Some participants appear to respond strongly and later say they remember little of what happened. Others do not respond enough to remain on stage. A few people may look as if they are playing along, which can affect how convincing the show feels from your seat. That uncertainty is part of the experience for some viewers, but it is also the clearest reason not to book this if you need hypnosis to look scientifically obvious.

The late-night setting at Charles Bach Wonders Theatre

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - The late-night setting at Charles Bach Wonders Theatre

The performance takes place at Charles Bach Wonders Theatre, located at 1320 Celebrity Circle, unit 191, in Myrtle Beach. The listed start time is 9:15 p.m., and the experience lasts about one hour and 15 minutes.

That timing works well after dinner or an evening around Broadway at the Beach. It is less useful for anyone with young children or an early morning departure. The show is adults-only, and the late start gives it a nightclub-style feel, even though the setting is a theater.

The venue has lighting, sound, and production effects designed to support the act. You are not simply watching a person talk to volunteers under a bright house light. Music and stage presentation help give the show a sense of occasion.

One practical tip comes from the audience experience: bring a light sweatshirt. At least one person found the theater quite cold, and being uncomfortable can make it harder to relax during the hypnosis portion. That is a small detail, but comfort matters when the show asks volunteers to focus and settle into the experience.

The theater can accommodate up to 200 people. That is large enough for a lively crowd, but still compact enough for the audience to feel connected to the stage. A smaller room also helps when the humor depends on seeing facial expressions and immediate reactions.

How the hypnosis participation works

You have an opportunity to volunteer, but participation is not forced. That distinction matters, especially if you are attending with someone who is curious about hypnosis but worried about being singled out.

Falcon accepts willing participants and may bring a group onto the stage. The number can vary. On some nights, there may be a full line of volunteers. On others, there may be empty chairs because fewer people want to take part. The size and willingness of the group can change the rhythm of the show.

Not everyone who volunteers will become hypnotized. Several accounts describe people trying without entering the state, while others say they were surprised by how strongly it worked. One participant had never expected to be hypnotized and later described the experience as convincing. Another person volunteered but could not relax, partly because the theater felt too cold.

That range is useful to know before you buy. The show is not a guarantee that you will personally experience hypnosis. It is a live performance that depends on the people who come forward that night.

If you volunteer, you should be comfortable with public attention, adult jokes, and unpredictable comic situations. If you prefer to observe, you can still enjoy the show from the audience. The best choice is to decide in advance that you will only participate if you genuinely want to.

Comedy, language, and the adult-only tone

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - Comedy, language, and the adult-only tone

The adult rating is not a minor footnote. Falcon uses strong language, sexual references, innuendo, and crude jokes from the opening portion of the performance. The tone is direct and sometimes deliberately shocking.

For people who enjoy raunchy stand-up and loose audience comedy, this can be a major part of the fun. The show’s strongest praise centers on laughing hard, quick energy, and the willingness of volunteers to commit to ridiculous situations. The comedy also benefits from being unscripted. Falcon has to respond to what people on stage do, so the exact shape of the show changes from night to night.

If you prefer clean family comedy, skip this one. The adult-only label is accurate, and even mature teenagers may not be the right audience. One parent described getting personal guidance from Steve Falcon when asking about a 16-year-old, but the official admission requirement is 18 and older. You should follow that stated age rule.

The humor may also feel uneven if a volunteer is hesitant or if the audience is slow to respond. One account found that it took time to remove people who seemed to be pretending, while another person felt that some participants did not appear hypnotized. These are normal risks with a live hypnosis comedy format, but they can affect your enjoyment.

The value of a $49 ticket

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - The value of a $49 ticket

At $49 per person, this is not the cheapest evening activity in Myrtle Beach. For two people, the admission comes to $98 before any concessions, drinks, or merchandise.

The value depends on what you want from a show. If you enjoy live comedy, audience participation, and the possibility of seeing someone you know take the stage, 75 minutes gives you a solid block of evening entertainment. The ticket includes admission, the chance to volunteer, and a meet and greet with photo opportunities after the performance.

The price is harder to justify if you mainly want a polished magic production or a serious demonstration of hypnosis. The act depends heavily on the volunteers, and the quality of the hypnotic segments can feel less convincing if people on stage seem reluctant or only partly responsive.

There are concessions and merchandise for sale at the theater. Beer and wine are available most days, except Sundays. Those purchases are extra, so budget accordingly.

Because the show is often booked about 16 days ahead, reserving early is sensible during busy Myrtle Beach periods. Pre-booking guarantees your seat, which matters more for a late show when you may not want to spend the evening hoping for availability.

The meet and greet after the performance

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - The meet and greet after the performance

The post-show meet and greet is a worthwhile part of the ticket, especially if you enjoy meeting performers or want a photo from the night. It gives the evening a more personal finish than simply walking out when the curtain falls.

Steve Falcon has also shown a personal touch with scheduling problems. In one case, he called a customer directly to help sort out whether the group could make the performance. That does not mean every booking issue will receive a personal phone call, but it suggests the performer remains closely involved with the show.

The meet and greet can be especially appealing if someone in your party participates on stage. You can take a photo together and have a clear souvenir of the experience. If you are choosing between several short evening shows, that added contact may help this one feel like more than a standard theater ticket.

Who will enjoy this Myrtle Beach show

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - Who will enjoy this Myrtle Beach show

I would recommend Steve Falcon’s Comedy Hypnosis Hour to adults who:

  • Like comedy with strong language and sexual humor
  • Enjoy audience participation and live reactions
  • Are curious about hypnosis but do not require a personal turn on stage
  • Want a late-night activity near Broadway at the Beach
  • Enjoy taking part in a show or watching friends volunteer
  • Prefer a compact 75-minute performance rather than a long theater production

You may want to choose another activity if you:

  • Need clean or family-friendly comedy
  • Dislike being asked to participate
  • Want a quiet, polished magic performance
  • Expect every volunteer to look obviously hypnotized
  • Find late evening shows difficult
  • Are uncomfortable with crude jokes or unpredictable stage behavior

Couples can have fun here even if only one person volunteers. The contrast between the participant on stage and the partner watching from the audience can become part of the evening. Groups of friends may get even more from it because they can encourage one another to participate, though nobody should feel pressured.

Booking, cancellation, and practical details

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - Booking, cancellation, and practical details

Your mobile ticket is accepted for the experience, and confirmation is provided when you book. The show is offered in English. The activity begins and ends at Charles Bach Wonders Theatre, with no separate transportation included.

Service animals are allowed, and the theater is near public transportation. Most people can take part, though the performance involves sitting in a theater and, for volunteers, appearing on stage.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes made inside that 24-hour period are not accepted, and cancellations inside that window are not refunded.

The performance requires suitable weather and a minimum number of bookings. If the show is canceled for either reason, you will be offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

My verdict on Steve Falcon’s Comedy Hypnosis Hour

Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour - My verdict on Steve Falcon’s Comedy Hypnosis Hour

I would book this if I wanted a funny, adult-only night with a live and unpredictable edge. The strongest appeal is the combination of comedy and participation. You are not just watching a performer deliver a fixed routine. You are watching Falcon work with the people who volunteer, and that can produce some very funny moments.

I would not book it expecting every hypnosis demonstration to convince me. The show’s success depends on the volunteers, and some parts may look more natural than others. The comedy also has a clear crude streak, so check your group’s tolerance before paying $49 each.

For the right audience, the late start, compact running time, lighting, music, audience energy, and included photo opportunity make this a practical Myrtle Beach evening choice. Go in ready to laugh, bring a light layer, and volunteer only if you truly want the spotlight.
