​

Chill out afterwards in our virtual reality meditation chamber, and for a quick fix of big laughs, The World’s Smallest Comedy Club is sure to tickle your fancy. We will also be welcoming those that sign up for free tickets to the Royal Court theatre. You will be guided to our art deco studio comedy club for some handpicked comedians.

Join the critically acclaimed Liam Hale for something gastronomic and deliciously funny. Enter a resting state with the award winning comedian Top Joe and his hilarious spiritual conference. Top Joe will be followed by the soothing sounds of our free sound bath; here you will have the opportunity to bathe in the meditative sound of singing bowls. All of these shows are free and we would recommend booking tickets in advance.

Danny Bradley's Comedy Hypnosis
2 - 4pm, 21st September, The Courtyard at Liverpool's Royal Court, Free

Stay-Awake Hypnosis is a guided meditation which attempts to prevent it's listeners from relaxing by unsettling them with disturbing and worrying thoughts. The rationale is simple; 2019 is a year of serenity. Things are going TOO well, if anything. We are too relaxed and happy. Countless online meditations exist to ease the cluttered rackets of our minds. To redress the balance, this guided meditation will keep you up at night with thoughts of doom, personal failure and catastrophe. Your ability to find contentment and internal peace will be capsized with a very real and burdensome dread. Never rest easy again. You're welcome.
