Either way, audience members will have the TIME OF THEIR LIVES! In "Fraser Frase's" unique comedy and entertainment show, you get to choose whether you want to just relax and watch, or engage and fall under hypnosis to act out our funny suggestions... when anything can happen! If you're looking for a roller coaster ride of laughing, crying, and something different, "Fraser Frase Comedy Hypnosis" is it. Come watch some crazy, wild, and unpredictable, impromptu fun... with real audience interaction!

"...Fraser's show was an entertaining mix of comedy and hypnosis resulting in hysterical reactions from the audience. He provided a professional, entertaining and tasteful show. There was plenty of action and the laughs just kept coming! The things the participants did while under hypnosis were not offensive nor degrading so they weren't humiliated or embarrassed but were hilarious and well received by the audience. Fraser created a safe, secure but very entertaining environment for the participants and audience alike..." - Sandra Davis, Manager of Residence Living, University of Windsor

"Katmandu in Concert" - One Night Only!
featuring Sitarist/Guitarist Don Pope and Singer/Pianist Rhonda Padmos
in a long-awaited concert of Indian classical music on the sitar!
Friday, May 4 - 7:00 pm

Act II is thrilled to present Katmandu in Concert, an exotic blend of Indian ragas, Latin jazz and Blues, featuring the amazing sitarist/guitarist Don Pope and singer/pianist Rhonda Padmos! This extraordinary concert will feature some of Don and Rhonda's original songs that were written to display the beautiful sounds of the Indian sitar and a tribute to history's sitar masters, Ravi Shankar, and George Harrison.

In the early 1970's, Don Pope travelled to India where he fell under the spell of the sitar virtuoso, Ravi Shankar. Seeing a Shankar concert was a life-changing experience for him, and he vowed to learn to play the sitar and to know and understand the music of India. He later studied with Ashish Khan, the nephew of Shankar, and later collaborated with him in a concert tour of India.

Rhonda Padmos, whose beautiful voice and expertise on both piano and keyboards, is the perfect accompaniment to Don's beautiful sitar music. Don and Rhonda have been an integral part of the music scene in Puerto Vallarta for many years. Now in their 5th season at Act II, they are thrilled to be able to share their love for Indian music with you in this special concert!
