Ken Webster’s hypnotist show turns willing volunteers into the night’s comic stars at Viva Blackpool’s Festival Suite. Expect three hours of fast-paced, audience-led comedy backed by the town’s festival history and accessible seating.

A hush falls across the Festival Suite as stage lights snap into clarity and the first volunteer walks forward, eyes bright with a dare. In Blackpool the sea air still smells faintly of salt through the windows, and Ken Webster’s voice — part showman, part coach — guides strangers into absurd, perfectly timed moments of communal laughter. The room feels like a temporary village where strangers agree to play.
