RECYCLED PERCUSSION mixes their gritty assault on buckets, power tools, or anything else they can get their sticks on with a sense of humor and gravity defying athleticism. Each performance is a dynamic mix of high-energy rock drumming, guitar smashing, and DJ spinning blended into recyclable “junk rock music.” They became a national phenomenon week after week during their smash hit performances on America’s Got Talent where Sharon Osborne called them “sexy and dangerous.”

After being featured on the cover of “USA Today” and being voted National Act of the Year a record-breaking six times, the band gained world-wide recognition, including nightly appearances on the Las Vegas Strip in the Saxe Theater at Planet Hollywood. RECYCLED PERCUSSION rocks the house with talent & creativity in this don’t-miss experience that will take your breath away!

Master Hypnotist ASAD MECCI has performed on Entertainment Tonight, MTV, Maxim Online, HGTV, and has been written about in the NY Times, the Huffington Post and Maxim Magazine.

From the brains of these two masters of their crafts comes a totally unique, mind-blowing, side-splitting comedy experience, HYPROV: IMPROV UNDER HYPNOSIS! Twenty random volunteers from the audience are placed under hypnosis by master hypnotist Mecci, the process of which is a show in its own right! The contestants are methodically and hysterically whittled down until the five best are left on stage. That’s when Colin Mochrie takes the stage to improvise with the top five while they are still under hypnosis, turning the evening into an absolutely hilarious improv extravaganza!
