Colin Mochrie, star of the television program “Whose Line it is Anyway?,” will appear on the Leach Theatre stage with hypnotist Asad Mecci at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 5, to present their new show “HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis” at Missouri S&T.
If Mochrie’s life had gone slightly different, he may have been known as one of the world’s best dolphin trainers, instead of one of the world’s best improvisational comedians.
Mochrie says when he was younger, he aspired to become a marine biologist.
“All of my classes early on in high school were science-based,” he says. “And then, unfortunately, I got my first laugh in a play, and that destroyed all science in my body.”
Or maybe that first human laugh was not truly what sealed Mochrie’s fate.
