A Nice Break...

2009-01-02T04:59:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!

Firstly can I wish you all a very Happy And Prosperous New Year. I sincerely hope that 2009 will be the perfect year for you!

I've had a nice few days off after Christmas and now I'm back "in the office" doing paperwork and writing new material for the show!

An exciting announcement for you now! In the end of April my brand new DVD will be released to the world. "Robert Temple's HYPNOTICA" is the unique and new xxx-rated hypnosis show captured live on DVD. The DVD is being filmed in Manchester on 9th April 2009. Tickets are available from www.ComedyHypnosis.co.uk/Manchester.

Hope to see you there!
Kind regards,

One Down, Two To Go (and a first attempt at video blogging!)

2008-12-26T03:56:00.000-08:00

Merry Boxing Day!!!

I sincerely hope you had an incredible Christmas this year and that Santa brought you everything you desired. Its amazing how often people say that isn't it... "Did you get anything nice?". Sometimes you wonder if things become to commercialised and forget the real reasons for these festivities. I'm not a religious guy but I guess its all about spending time with your families etc.

I'm currently away in Egypt at the moment in Hurghada, a lovely fast-developing tourist resort. Unfortunately it is too far away from the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, an area I will visit upon my next return.

I'm here performing three shows for The Ministry of Sound Red Sea and Hed Kandi Red Sea. We had our first show last night following a smashing Christmas dinner. About 80 people in the audience and I'm delighted to say that they seemed to love the show. I've attached some photos of it in this blog. I have another show tonight and one more tomorrow. I was a bit worred as 2 days ago I developed "the Egyptian Belly". Its a hideously unpleasant illness which involves spending most of the night with your head down the toilet! Fortunately I appear to have recovered quickly enough and with any luck it wont return!!

Everyone has been very friendly and really taken care of us here. I'm working alongside a magician chum of mine, Jack Bryce and we've had a great laugh out here.

Lots of people are talking about the show all over Hurghada today and I've had a few people come up and ask me about hypnotism, myself and the show.. which is lovely!

The Egyptians were quite taken by the show. I don't think they have ever seen anything like it before.

Anyway today I've also included my first attempt at video blogging. I've a lot to learn about it but hey.. ya gotta start somewhere.

I'll try and get some more photos of the show tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll show you something that we saw here in Egypt... it made me giggle anyway!!

Speak real soon!

Its a hard life...

2008-12-23T09:30:00.000-08:00

Greetings from Egypt!

I'm currently sitting in my hotel room at the Marriott Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt, where I will be spending the next 7 days of my life. I'm performing my hypnosis show for the Ministry of Sound and Hed Kandi three days over Christmas and the jolly nice people have put me up here!

I'll post a video blog tomorrow so you can see the environment and I'll follow it up with photos from the shows in the next few days.

Speak soon,

The Pain Of Fashion

2008-12-20T04:14:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone,

I just thought I'd take a few minutes to post a quick blog entry whilst I'm not doing anything else. I'm actually sitting with a towel round me, waiting for my hair dye to set. It's a little painful, the bleach in the dye seems to burn right into my scalp! Still, its settling off now and it'll all be worth it when its done!

Life is keeping very busy for me as usual. This evening I'll be performing my comedy hypnosis show for a big fancy dress party. It's being held in a big house in Hartlepool, North East England. I'm very much looking forward to the performance, should be fun!

I recently received the following testimonial from one of my recent clients:

"Never had so many requests from customers for an act to return - most fun any of us have had for ages! Laugh out loud funny, rude but not crude, intelligent yet silly - an amazing performance from an amazing fella!" - John & Toni, The Cross Axes Pub, Blackburn

It's always nice to hear comments like this about my shows. Plus, they've re-booked the show for February 1st. So I'll look forward to visiting them all again.

I hope you are all prepared for Christmas and looking forward to the festivities. I'll post again tomorrow to let you know about a very special announcement.

Till then,
Robert Temple

Thanks Matalan

2008-12-15T13:22:00.000-08:00

Well 3 days have gone by since I last blogged.. so I'm not doing too badly in keeping you up to date!

I had a great night last night performing my comedy show for the Matalan staff party up here in my hometown of Sunderland. Thanks to all who were there, we got amazing feedback from lots of people who were all very welcoming to me and provided me with a lovely buffet too!

I'm back to the writing desk now. I've got my notepads out and I'm constantly writing new ideas for my new show and also planning a major event for February which I'll be blogging about in the next few days.

Keep reading everyone and I'll speak real soon!

It's a small world.

2008-12-12T10:29:00.000-08:00

I'm currently going through the fun but unenviable process of learning to drive. It's time to stand on my own four wheels and stop relying on public transport or, more commonly, my friends and family for a lift everywhere!

It's strange but every single driving lesson I have with my driving instructor, Billy, I seem to uncover new coincidences and I realise just how small the world is. For example, in the last 2 weeks I have discovered that he know about 4 people that I know, is a member of the BNI (a business networking organisation - see previous post) and today I discovered the most interesting secret....

You see, on Sunday evening I am performing my first Corporate Christmas Party of 2009. Right here in my home town of Sunderland I'll be performing for the staff and managers of Matalan, the well known clothing company. I'm looking forward to the show, which is the second gig I've booked this year from Facebook - how the world moves forward!

Anyway.. turns out that one of the students that Billy had out on the road earlier that day works for Matalan and proudly announced that they had a hypnotist booked for their party on Sunday... ME! It IS a small world.

So I'm set to take my first (and hopefully my last) driving test in the middle of January and its inspired me to do something massive... details coming in a couple of weeks!

I have a night off tonight after lots of shows and I've just heard on the grapevine that a hypnotist pal of mine is performing in the city centre so I'll go and meet my girlfriend, Jo, from work and tug her arm to come with me down to do some spyi... research by watching the show.. haha!

I'll report back about the Matalan party show on Sunday.. I'll try and make a short video documentary about the show for a vid blog post.

Hope you are having a lovely evening whatever you are up to and I'll speak to you very soon!

Till next time,
Kindest regards,

Time Flies When You're Having Fun....

2008-12-10T01:21:00.000-08:00

In the words of a famously grumpy old man in a favourite TV sitcom of mine... "I Don't Believe It!"

I can't begin to believe that its almost two months since I last posted on this blog! I hope the regular readers have missed my rants, raves and adventures but I'm back with a vengeance and I intend to stay here too.

As you will have read in my last blog post, I flew back from the summer season in Kos on October 13th, long enough ago to have lost the small amount of sun tan that I had developed. As my brother pointed out I have returned to my regular pale blue complexion!

Well the winter is generally time off for me. After 6 months of performing my full 2-hour show five nights a week... I deserve a bit of "me" time however I've enjoyed the few gigs I have done since my return in pubs and similar venues around the UK and I'm just about to hit Christmas party season. Are you having a work or a club Christmas party? Looking for unique entertainment? Get in touch with us for your free, no obligation quote.

I got back on October 13th safe and sound and I was staying with my mum for a couple of weeks down in lovely Berkshire, then travelled to stay with a friend for a weekend in Manchester and finally back to the North East where I'm currently staying the wintertime out with my dad and step-mum.

So I've been spending a lot of time thinking and I'm already preparing for the Kos Summer Season 2009. I'm really looking forward to my return and I'm writing a brand new show ready for next year. One comment that I heard about a lot of the other entertainers in Kos is that they always have the same act year in year out. I refuse to get into that rut. It's very, very easy as an entertainer to stick to what you are comfortable with. I've done my current family show now for 4 years and its time for a change.

I've been sent a lot of very positive comments and reviews from people who enjoyed the show this summer in Kos and they have inspired me to continue to build on this "fanbase". Many of them are returning next summer and so I want to have a new show to keep everything fresh.

I'm also putting the finishing touches on my new adults only xxx-rated hypnotic show, "Hypnotica" which will be launching in April with a big theatre performance in Manchester and also a DVD release. I'll let you know as soon as the tickets go on sale!

I had to get up very early (6.00 am) this morning as I went to visit the BNI (a fantastic business networking organisation where businessmen and women can exchange business referrals). I used to be a member however with weekly meetings this became impossible to maintain with the amount of time I spend working abroad.

Anyway, as much as I'd like to go back to sleep right now I will force myself to stay away and try to continue writing for the new show.

Remember to visit my website at www.ComedyHypnosis.co.uk and my Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=27888051534&ref=ts which you can join if you haven't already.

I'll drop another blogpost in the next couple of days to let you know about the very exciting news I have this Christmas!

Till next time,
Best wishes,

Waiting...

2008-10-13T04:03:00.000-07:00

Well then today I'm travelling back to the UK after my summer season here in Kos!

This morning I flew from Kos to Athens, and I'm currently sitting at Athens Airport waiting for my connection flight to London Stansted. About another 3 hours left. Thanks to the wonders of wireless internet connectivity I have managed to update my blog from my website... ta dah!

I'll be posting back once I'm firmly back on UK soil so watch this space!

They Think It's All Over!

2008-10-10T15:51:00.000-07:00

Well after a whirlwind season it's all over. The summer is just about at an end and this evening I performed my LAST show of Kos 2008! The audience for the last night was smaller than it has been for a long time as the resort grows quieter but they were a great crowd to perform for.

The last week I've spent most of my life either sleeping, drinking or sunbathing, desperately trying to get a bit more of a tan onto my previously pale-blue skin! Actually its pale blue with small red mosquito bites across it!!!

Anyway on Monday I'll be flying to Athens where I will spend about 4 hours before catching a connection flight to Stansted. I have about a week and a half off, which I'll be spending with my mum at her new home down south before venturing up to the North West for a gig in Cumbria and then to Manchester for a week and finally up home to the North East.

It's been a hell of a summer and GOOD NEWS, today I have just signed the contract with another bar for the summer of 2009. Paradiso Bar in Kardamena will be my shows new home, every Tuesday, Friday & Sunday (he wants me to do 4 nights a week but I think it will be hard to fit in!) for next summer.

Bookings are coming in fast for November, December & January so get your enquiries in soon. Check out my calendar at www.ComedyHypnosis.co.uk!

Rain On The Parade!

2008-09-20T06:38:00.000-07:00

Well it's been a while since I've got to this blog. I promise I'll be here more often from now on.

I'm still living in Kos at the moment. With another 2-3 weeks to go we can already see the season closing down. I'm still on 5 shows a week but the Island is getting quieter and quieter.

There is a deadly depression among all of the workers out here. It's the end of the Summer Season 08, but no one wants to admit it...

I've got a gig at Sydney Bar, Kefalos tonight. Unfortunately the show is open-air and it appears to be raining a little at the moment. We might be in Greece but the skies are overcast and they is the expectation of the storm tonight which will be fun! When it storms in Greece it really does storm!!!

Powercuts

2008-09-04T10:24:00.000-07:00

Havent had a chance to post on here for a while. I keep saying that I will post more regularly but things always get in my way...

Had a busy week this week. I started by taking a couple of days away and travelling to see my friend Simon's show in Rhodes... ended up doing part of the show and hypnotising people after the show too.. all good fun!

Unfortunately I missed the boat that I was supposed to jump on and had to hang around in Rhodes town with a very heavy bag for quite some time. I managed to get home a couple of hours before my show here in Kardamena which went super well.

Simon and I are working on a special joint show and have already had one enquiry about it for a Christmas party in London this year. Details to follow.

I've also had an enquiry for doing a show for a big weekend's reunion for one of the Rep companies who is currently out here. Again - details to follow soon!

Plus shows have been so busy here in Kardamena that the Two Johnnies Bar have asked me to do a third night here each week. We blocked the street on Tuesday night with our audience.

I'm off to Tingaki for a show now so I'll post again tomorrow!

Kind regards,
Robert Temple!

A Beautiful Friendship!

2008-08-27T09:29:00.000-07:00

Good evening... Just a quick post before I nip off to my show this evening. Had a great show last night and had a great surprise about 30 seconds before I went on stage. I felt a tap on the shoulder and found my friend Simon Warner had come to visit. Simon is a fellow comedy hypnotist who works around the Island of Rhodes... just a short ferry ride from me.

So we were lucky to spend the night after my show discussing hypnotism, techniques, sketches and ideas. Here's a couple of photos of me hypnotising at a local bar shortly after my show.....

Till next time,
Kind regards,
Robert Temple

Burnt & Hungover...

2008-08-26T10:38:00.000-07:00

It's been a few days since I've managed to get to my blog. I'm currently chilling out with 2 electric fans pointing directly at me.

I'm still in my summer season in Greece, just 7 weeks and 1 day left till I'll be returning to the UK though. The seasons going fast.

Last night I decided to go out and have a few drinks... lets just say those few drinks got the better of me and turned into lots of drinks. I don't really remember what happened after that. Aparently I turned up at a local 24 hour bar and was virtually carried home by a friend who managed to let me in! Hmmm...

However perhaps it was a good thing. Somehow I woke up at 11.00am this morning feeling incredible. So, OK I couldn't remember what the hell I'd done the night before but now I feel fantastic. I spent the day in and sunbathing next to my local pool with pals Matt and Joe. We had a great day with a game of water volleyball (I failed miserably!) and I caught the sun too - it's all good.

I have a show in about an hour and a half so I'm going to set off to set up for that soon.

I got an e-mail today from a recent audience member whose sister was hypnotised... I mentioned her in the last blog post - she was the lady who.. erm.. didn't like the naked glasses! Anyway, her sister filmed some of the show and has put together this video.. Hope you enjoy it:

You Learn Something New Every Day

2008-08-21T06:38:00.000-07:00

Morning, tis a wild world with live in and as clever and clued up as you can think you are, there is still room to learn every single day...

I discovered this during one of my shows last week. In the show I have a pair of giant novelty glasses. I give the volunteers the suggestion that when they wear them, every member of the opposite sex in the room is completely naked.

During this particular show I gave these glasses to a female 20-something and she looked around the room absolutely disgusted, something which has never happened during my show before. She quickly took them off saying that she didn't like them and wouldn't wear them.

So I laughed it off, handed them to someone else and assumed that she was an innocent, sweet thing who wouldn't want to see something like that.

Anyway, she came over to me after the show and explained... her family had told her what she had done during the show and it all fell immediately into place for them. She informed me that she is gay and so when, in her imagination, she saw a room full of naked men she was quite put off and removed the glasses quickly.

She doesn't remember doing it but at least we know why. The power of the imagination is so incredible. I'll never forget that show and I think I'll change my script to suggest that "every member of the audience of their preferred sex" is completely naked!

Next week we'll be starting work on a mini documentary that I'm making about pain. I've always been interested in the idea of pain control and mind over matter. I'll be using my powers of suggestion and hypnotism to give someone out here in Greece completely painless tattoo!!!

Details to follow.

Till next time,
Take care,

By Popular Demand?

2008-08-20T09:54:00.000-07:00

Hey guys and gals,

Thanks for stopping by again. I'm getting lazier and lazier. I only got up at 5.00pm this afternoon. Thats no good at all!

I was supposed to have a night off tonight with no shows but now it turns out I'm "back by popular demand" at Sydney Bar, Kefalos, Kos. Mike, the owner, rang me this afternoon as has asked me to do two nights a week instead of just one, so thats nice.

Hope you are all well. More and more bookings are flooding in for the winter period and my November/December dates will be appearing on the website very soon indeed.

I'll call back tomorrow with details of a new documentary we're going to be making out here!

Till then,
Take care,

Fame at last!

2008-08-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

Almost anyway...

I've just arrived at my local Internet cafe here in Kardamena to find someone who immediately grabbed me and took me to a computer where someone was busy watching a video of my show on YouTube. I was delighted to have SundayNights.co.uk in my audience not too long ago and they put together the following video from my show... I am chuffed!

Till next time,

Cakes, Swimming & Hypnotism!

2008-08-18T05:23:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon blog and all readers,

I'm performing my show in Tingaki this evening, a small picturesque venue in the North of Kos. Looking forward to that but I thought I'd pop and add to my blog first!

It's currently half three. I've just come back from visiting my friend Joe, he works and runs the bar at a local hotel and swimming pool by the name of Nissia.

They're having a fun day today with a tug of war over the pool, swimming relay races and I got roped into a cake eating competition against Joe. Unfortunately I don't normally eat at that time in the day so my stomach didn't take very well to the chocolate and jam covered fairy cakes. We had 5 each. I got through three before nearly throwing up and throwing in the towel. Joe managed to munch his way through all 5 for a victory! Well done Joe!

But as a lovely consolation prize, they did give out a brilliant plug for my show over the microphone! A few people came over to talk to me afterwards including a girl who had tried to be hypnotised years ago in another hypnotists show but it didn't work. She, therefore, didn't think she could be hypnotised and I was challenged to do it. I've always said you can't hypnotise a sceptic but I rolled with it and she was amazed as I rapidly hypnotised her right there in her chair surrounded by a makeshift audience before sticking her hand to a table and making her forget her own name!

The power of the mind is incredible.

Now here is where you come into todays blogpost. I'm collecting research for a new product I'm creating so all readers of the blog please take 2 minutes of your life to send an e-mail to me at robert@comedyhypnosis.co.uk with the following information:

Your sex
Your age
Roughly how many hours of sleep you feel that you ideally need each night

In a week I'll be posting full details of this new product. Next I have a haircut and a show! Speak to you tomorrow!

Kind regards,
Robert Temple

I'm back

2008-08-16T10:14:00.001-07:00

OH NO!
Just when everything was looking up and I was ready for regular blogging, my home Internet went down. So with a combination of using my friends and also the local Internet cafe I havent managed to get onto my blog until now!

Well I'm currently sitting on the coastline of Kefalos, a beautiful and picturesque resort in Kos. I'm on stage in around about an hour and a quarter for 2 hours performing my comedy show as ever.

I've got another 9 weeks of the season left, I can't believe how quickly this season has flown by. I've been here 4 months now!

I'll be flying back to the UK around about the 15th October when I have a couple of weeks off.. well not exactly off - I'll be rehearsing and learning my new show!! First UK show of the winter season is in Hull for Hull Comedy Festival! Should be fun on November 1st. It will take me some adjustment back to the weather in the UK but I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Take care guys till next time when I'll be telling you about a fantastic new "mini-documentary" I'm producing while I'm out here.. all fun!

2008-08-01T05:58:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,

Just a quick blog post for the moment. I haven't managed to keep up my blog posts recently but for a very good reason.. my home Internet is broken! Oh no!

However I'm busy working on a brand new project at the moment and I'll be revealing full details of everything in my next Blog tomorrow... when I'll be regular again. Regular with the blogs I mean!

Till Them,

It's been a while...

2008-07-22T04:47:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon to you all. It's been a few days since my last blog post. I've had a couple of nights off from shows which has been a nice break. It's always good to have a rest from time to time. So I've been primarily relaxing, drinking and socialising. Back to work tonight though as my show is back on tonight. Another local bar that runs live entertainment (I mentioned it a few blog posts ago) appears to have decided not to compete with us anymore, so I'm the only show performing here tonight and it should be quite busy. There was quite strong rivalry between them and the bar I work for. Shame the world has to be like this and people can't just get on with eachother really. Anyway last night I went to visit some friends at Mario's Bar on the Harbour of Kardamena and one of them asked me to hypnotise her right there and then. She didn't want to be made to do anything stupid just wanted to try it to see what it feels like. So I took the opportunity to try out an instant induction. (Mega-quick hypnotism)...

Shortly afterwards another guy who was somewhat drunk proposed that she was just messing about and playing along and challenged me to hypnotise his friend. So I did...

I very rarely decide to bother with such challenges but was quite irritated by the closed mindedness of the sceptic. I'll tell you what though... they believe now!!! So I'm back on stage at Sandra's Two Johnnies Showbar, Kardamena tonight. I'm off to start to prepare now. I'll report back tomorrow with some more stuff. Till then, Robert Temple International Comedy Hypnotist

As promised...

2008-07-16T07:52:00.000-07:00

I mentioned in my earlier blog post that I would be posting a video later today so here it is. It's a 20 minute montage of highlights and clips from my current show.

I hope you like it. Please take a few minutes to place a comment to this blog and let me know what you think.

Robert Temple: Hypnotist Live At Sydney Bar, Kefalos, Greece

I'm sorry...

2008-07-16T04:54:00.000-07:00

...it's been a while. 4 days now to be precise since my last blog-post. It's all about the procrastination. I've spent every day of the last 4 days saying "Oh I'll do it later...". But "later" never comes does it?

Ah well. Anyway I hope you are well. Had a nice couple of shows recently, the audiences out here are great and seem to appreciate my show. We also got a review of the show on JustKos.co.uk. It said:

"Brilliant entertainment. A must see this year is the hypnotist!!!! Absolutely amazing! You have to see it to believe it!"

So I was pleased with that. It's always good to hear that people have gone out of their way to review something like that.

Anyway later on today I'll be posting another blog - aren't you lucky!!! I've got a 20 minute video of highlights from my show out here filmed at Sydney Bar/Hotel in Kefalos. I'll add it here tonight.

I have a night off tonight so I'm going to relax, go for a few drinks and enjoy it.

Speak to you later,

The Birthday In Hindsight...

2008-07-12T09:01:00.000-07:00

Well it's been and gone. I'm past the 21 year old milestone and officially an "adult". How does it feel? No different to be honest. BUT, I did have an amazing day. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me they're best wishes yesterday whether by phone, text, e-mail or even Facebook! How brilliant is technology?

My birthday went as follows. I was woken up at around 9.30 by my friends Fay and Amy who decided to dress me in a flourescent tutu, fairy wings and a tiara! Still half asleep they guided me to the main square in Kardamena, where we were greeted by a coach full of workers and friends of mine. We all jumped aboard the coach and a minibus and set off for Kos Waterpark. Full of slides, rides, attractions and an amazing wavepool we had a great day. Leaving around 4.00 so that all the workers could be back and ready for work in time. Unfortunately we all got massively sunburnt. Now I just have to hope it turns into a tan!!!

We all got ourselves spruced up and in an incredibly tired state rolled into Ellie's Carvery, for a fantastic roast dinner right here in Kardamena.

As everyone else went to work, I went to set up for my show at Sandra's Two Johnnies Showbar and my show went on stage at 10.10. It was the busiest night we have had so far this season with people of all ages, nationalities and genders. Was a brilliant show and finished my birthday on an amazing high. I'll be adding some photos and video clips from the day soon.. Watch this space!

So today I've been to a barbeque, taken part in a pool tournament and slept. It's a hard life but someone has to do it! Tonight I'm performing at Sydney's Bar in Kefalos. My Dad is out on holiday at the moment. He'll be filming the show and we'll upload as much of it as possible to YouTube soon.

Till next time,
Take care,

Professional Rivalry?

2008-07-10T07:33:00.000-07:00

Good morning from the sunny side of the world. You know, in my industry (entertainment) there are a lot of ego's bashing around. There are plenty of people who are arrogant, full of their own importance because they are clearly more important than everyone else. There are a number of acts working out in this resort.

There are a couple of singers, an Elvis tribute, a Chubby Brown impersonator, a comedy act and me. I WISH that these acts could pull together, be friends and support eachother. In a perfect world we could all survive and get on and all be successful. Unfortunately it's not a perfect world by any means.

The other night I found out from a close friend that one of the above acts (who shall remain nameless...), has been bad-mouthing hypnotists in his show at another bar. Not me specifically but hypnotists in general. Lets just say I'm a little miffed.

Still, I'll let him have his day and I'll have mine. Just a little plan to put into action. If he can use his skills of "comedy" to put me down, I'll use mine to dampen his parade.

Next Tuesday is going to be a fun night with my little "prank". Plus it will all be caught on camera and placed right here on this blog for your enjoyment :-D. I LOVE professional rivalry...

My mum left Kardamena this morning and my dad and step-mum have just arrived after 10 days of driving and sailing. (Rather them than me to be honest). I have a night off to enjoy with them and then it's my 21st Birthday tomorrow.

I'll drop you a note on Saturday. I feel I may be somewhat palatic tomorrow.

Till then,
Take care,
Robert Temple

Next week I'll be launching an amazing new product to the market that will help you maximise your sleep, energy and ability. Just 1 hour of hypnotic sleep is the equivalentof 14-15 hours of every day natural deep sleep. Watch this space.

A brighter shade and a surprise!

Well 2 days, 2 shows and surprisingly little sleep has ticked by since my last contribution on this blog. I'm currently sat on my balcony. Perhaps sat is a strong word... more like hanging off it! The heat is getting somewhat unbearable as this picturesque Island is flung into another heatwave. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.

The only other problem with the sun is my trademark red hair... it fades to a ginger colour quite easily. So I got it topped up in time for the show yesterday.

My mum is currently over here on holiday and goes home tomorrow morning, unfortunately a day before my 21st birthday (on Friday). I felt a bit of a fool yesterday as I arrived at the Two Johnnies Showbar to set up for last nights show and found the bar to be full of balloons and birthday banners. I was told that there was a birthday celebration taking place that night for an audience member. For some reason I just didn't put 2 and 2 together and realise it was an early birthday celebration for me, thrown by the mother! So after the show we had karaoke and fun and games and it was a lovely night. Thanks Mum, Reece, Sandra, Tony, Charlie and all involved.

This morning I got up around 12, went for breakfast and then a swim. It's currently 5.15pm. I'm off for a siesta before the show tonight. I'll pop back on tomorrow with some interesting news and updates.

Till then,
Take care,

"It's A New Day, It's A New Life And I'm Feeling Good"...

...as someone far greater than me once sang.

Which brings me nicely into my brand new blog. It seems like I've said this so many times but I have promised myself that I will keep this one updated and regularly spiced with my thoughts, feelings and views on my career and life. With permanent Internet access being as fast and available as it is, I have no excuse. I will now be maintaining this blog and posting to it AT LEAST every 2 days.

The main reason for starting a whole new blog was the very exciting birth of my brand new website yesterday at www.ComedyHypnosis.co.uk.

It's a completely new look, new style but keeping my traditional red and black colour scheme that I have come to know and love. I hope you like it and would love to hear any of your comments, good or bad!

In case you are new to my unusual hypnotic world allow me to indulge myself with an introduction. I'm Robert Temple and I'm a professional comedy stage hypnotist based in Newcastle Upon Tyne but I travel all over the world performing my fast paced hypnotic show. At the moment I'm "stationed" in the beautiful Greek Island known as Kos. I live in Kardamena, the fun-filled 18-30 resort and 5 nights a week I travel around Kos to present my show in a number of bars, hotels and other venues for English, German and other holiday makers. It's a great life but a busy one. You can read more about "a day in the life of me" and check my tour calendar at my website.

Fortunately the Island isn't very big and it doesn't take more than 45 minutes to get to any of my venues. I'm here until October when I'll be returning to the UK to continue my travels around the country performing for parties, pubs, private clubs/organisations, dinners, cabaret venues, comedy clubs, universities and many more.

It's currently 2.40 am but in the sweltering heat of my apartment I've dragged my backside onto the computer to record my thoughts at this awful hour.

Well for now I shall leave you my friends. Please take a few moments to look over the new website. It will have a number of additions over the coming month including an e-shop (for merchandise and therapy products), more photos and videos from this year's summer season and much more.

Feel free to subscribe to this Blog, read more about me and check out my favourite resources and links.

Till next time,
Take Care,
