The Don-nosis Hypnomody Show just wrapped a month long engagement of his new comedy hypnosis show in Las Vegas, NV and is currenlty on tour.  Check out the great reviews!!!

"What a night! Don Barnhart was awesome. His Comedy and Hypnosis Show broke all of our comedy records!!!! PACKED!!!" - Jack Didley's Comedy Club

"The Don Barnhart Comedy & Hypnosis Show is the only running Vegas Hypnosis Show that is family friendly. Barnhart takes the positive aspects of hypnotic trances for a spin, convincing his volunteers to be superstars and fitness models. In an industry dominated by embarrassing and shocking antics, the comedy brought out of our shared hopes and dreams is refreshing and honest.

Don's twenty years of comedy club experience are evident, as well as his Second City improv skills and his self-improvement hypnotic abilities. Everything comes together in a show that puts the audience on center stage, inhibitions gone, ready to perform like they never have before. Skeptics encouraged to attend."  - LasVegas.Net

"Your comedy killed. The hypnosis show was incredible. My friend was the girl in the center with red boots. In talking with her afterwards, she told us how it felt and how she felt. And how the hundred dollar bills you gave them were "really sparkly"...lol   We were both somewhat cynical about "those kind of shows" - playing along, plants from the audience, etc.  Your show and seeing it happen to a friend of ours convinced us!  And again, thank you for sharing your shows with us."
