“The DougT Hypnosis Show" at the Rust Belt -- May 9.

Friday, May 9, 8 p.m.

The Rust Belt, 533 12th Avenue, East Moline IL

His credits including touring events with the likes of the Impractical Jokers, comedian Greg Hahn, and two-time Emmy Award winner Jennifer Coolidge, standup hypnotist Doug Thompson brings his touring sensation The DougT Hypnosis Show to East Moline venue The Rust Belt on May 9. Potential stage participants, however, shouldn't worry about doing anything they'll regret in the morning, as Thompson prides himself on delivering a raucously fun evening that doesn’t come at the cost of compromised dignity.

As stated at TheDougTHypnosisShow.com, "After touring as a standup comic for years, Doug wanted a new way to create a better show and entertain more people. That is when he started studying hypnosis and all different types of ways to hypnotize people. Doug wanted to take comedy hypnosis to the next level by creating a show that is different from all of the rest. He adds in his quick wit and spot on impressions to make the show fun from beginning to end. His comedy background is a large part of this ability. He has toured and still tours with some of the big names in comedy. Some of the names include Pauly Shore, The Impractical Jokers from TruTV, Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler's Mom), Tim Wilson, Greg Hahn, MIke MacRae, and many more.

"Working in some of the greatest theaters around the country has put him in front of thousands of people. He also keeps his shows family friendly due to the large amount of Corporate events and Colleges he works with. When asked about if volunteers on his show should be worried about coming on stage his response was simply 'I treat the volunteers on stage the way I would want my wife and daughters treated, with respect and dignity!' That is why Doug has become one of the most requested in the nation for corporate events, colleges, and high Schools. ESPN selected him to be a Bowl Game entertainer for teams at the Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama. Finding away to make people forget about the stresses of life and laugh through his 75 to 90 minute show is what DougT lives for."

Thompson's touring event The DougT Hypnosis Show comes to East Moline on May 9, admission to the 8 p.m. performance is $20-25, and more information and tickets are available by visiting TheRustBeltQC.com.
