What if a stand-up comic could also read your mind? Peter Antoniou has been answering that question for over two decades, astonishing audiences around the world with his razor-sharp wit and uncanny psychic abilities. At just nine years old, Peter set out to learn the impossible: how to read minds. Over the years, he studied with psychologists, hypnotists, psychics, magicians, and shamans to develop his one-of-a-kind skill set. Combine that with his background in improvisational comedy, and you’ve got a spellbinding, side-splitting show! During this interactive performance, Peter will take you on a journey through your own thoughts, revealing things he couldn’t possibly know, delivering spot-on predictions, and keeping you laughing with every twist and turn.
