The event began with an introductory, non-related audio clip on the F-word. It’s not original stuff, but it was still funny, if somewhat random.

Damien then came on stage and introduced himself and the process of hypnosis. He then hypnotized the audience members and asked them to put their hands together as a test, and if you could do that and didn’t mind appearing crazy on stage in front of everyone, you could come up and be a volunteer.

After lulling the volunteers into a deep sleep, he told them the temperature was rising and it was getting unbearably hot on stage. A number of the male volunteers began taking their clothes off, and even one female, but he quickly told her not to do that. Everyone was shifting about uncomfortably and wiping their brows; it was an odd and funny sight. Damien then lowered the temperature until everyone was hunched over, arms crossed tightly, shivering with their neighbors.

The volunteers were then told that their favorite instrument was under their seat, and classical music started playing. They were all suddenly in a very odd orchestra, with people jumping up playing the violin elaborately. Others had flutes, and one was on his chair rocking out with a guitar. It was fun to see that they all moved their hands in perfect beat with the music, even though their heads were drooping and they were in some other comedic form of consciousness.

Damien then had them all get high. People suddenly started laughing hysterically, falling off their chairs, and blowing imaginary smoke rings. Damien then played in on the guilt factor and told them the police were here, and asked some of them questions. Most of them produced redundant gibberish, and one student even lied, saying “No, I don’t smoke.”

Later, all the participants ran off the stage like monkeys and began to pick the lice off peoples’ heads in the audience. No one was safe, which was a sad fact that came into play for one of the last segments. What followed was a Britney Spears concert where one man was dancing like Spears (fairly well), even lip-synching like her.

Then, the volunteers’ favorite pet gerbils appeared in Damien’s hand, and he asked them what their gerbils’ names were. He then proceeded to kick the gerbil into the air—much to the participants’ anger. At some point, one of the students even started to breast-feed his pet gerbil. The same breast-feeding student acted as a Chinese rap star for the enjoyment of all. Unfortunately, when Damien sentenced him to speak pseudo-Chinese until noon the next day, it only worked until the end of the hypnotic session. However, even during the Jerry Springer session, where one contestant was angry that he had a neighbor who made love to his dog and that he didn’t get a turn, he spoke angry Chinese.

Then, a few unfortunate men in the audience got lapdances from men on stage who thought they were Chippendale dancers. It was followed by a “nasty one,” where they all made love to their chairs, which is something best left to the imagination.
