Yes I saw Frank Santos the R rated hypnotist there back in the early 1990s. He hypnotized a group of women out for their wedding shower and had the bride-to-be make out with a complete stranger. When she came to she threatened that her future husband would find him and “beat him up”. He put her under again quickly using a key word and she went back to making out with him again.

Maybe trying to reaching out whoever runs the ri comedy museum place at the park cinema, idk how active the place is but it looks like it was renovated from whatever it was before, also for whatever it’s worth I’m fairly sure Marc Maron references it in his book waiting for the punch

Yes, a great time. Frank was hilarious and very daring.

Maron has definitely mentioned it on the pod and maybe last time he came to Prov

That’s insane.

I once watched him hypnotize a dozen people to give the audience lap dances. When everyone came to they were just pulling cash out of their underpants.

I love how he was universally known as the R Rated hypnotist. Today, he would be known as the guy who got canceled in about 90 seconds. Seasons change. He was an excellent performer and very much of his time.

Never been there, but heard a lot about it. I will now try to search for pics.
