The Groom was Hypnotized!

Today is my night off. Whew. Been a crazy week. Flew to Alaska, did some events, came back to Vegas, performed every night since, and now Friday night is here. My dark night. For those of you not familiar with Las Vegas show lingo, when your show is "dark" it means that you are off that night and not performing. So, every Friday is Mesmerized's dark night.

We had some great shows this week. Myself, Jacky and Ty went out for a celebratory drink after the show last night. It was really the first time that we took a breath since the show opened.

Upon reflecting on the week, we had a few interesting shows. One in particular really stood out. We had a party of 9 show up. They were a bride and groom and their close friends. I later found out that my favorite brokers, Tix4Tonight are the ones that sold them tickets. Tix4Tonight is amazing, they know how to pick the right people for the right show. This group was looking to celebrate and get crazy and do something memorable for their trip to Vegas. So, they told me that David from Tix4Tonight recommended that the best show for a large group to have fun at would be Mesmerized. Well, he was right. The Groom volunteered for the show, and was the star of the night. Oh my gosh, he was friggin' hilarious!

This one part in the show where I do a classic Hot/Cold routine. Upon awakening from being cold, this girl was cuddling up with the groom and so, he pushes her away disgustedly, and points to his brand new wedding ring. His face totally said, "get off me bitch, I'm married!" So funny! But it doesn't end there.

Later in the show, I brought a guy up from the audience to put on a wig and the guys on stage would fall in love with this "so-called girl". I told them that she would be the most beautiful girl they had ever seen. Upon awakening, the groom, Clayton, lays eyes on this "girl" and his jaw drops to the floor. She is SOOOO hott! Then the brand new groom of a few hours, slips off his wedding ring and stuffs it in his pocket! He was SOOOO married 20 minutes earlier, but was willing to throw it all away for this burley dude in a wig! The audience was rolling on the floor in laughter. Priceless. Too funny!

Clayton, I hope we made your night a memorable one, and thanks for volunteering. David, from Tix4Tonight, thanks for sending me a great group. You were dead on to think that they would have a blast at Mesmerized!

Final thought. It is weird to wrap my head around the fact that I pretty much hypnotize someone on each and every day of my life. But today, Marc Savard, shall not hypnotize. I will sit my ass down on the couch, and watch a movie. I am tired, I will easily fall asleep, and once I close my eyes, my night will be dark. Of course, that is so perfectly fitting, for my dark night. :-)

Marc
