Your guests already have personalities. We give them a stage.
High Gear Comedy Hypnosis brings comedy hypnosis, emcee hosting and music to events, with Justin Lamothe leading the fun and Christy coordinating the details. We’re based in Hackberry, near Kingman, Arizona, and welcome bookings nationwide.
Picture your coworker taking an imaginary assignment far too seriously, or your normally quiet friend delivering the answer nobody expected. Justin builds on those moments with quick wit, playful scenarios and callbacks that keep the comedy connected. The people in front of him help give each show its own personality.
Participation is always voluntary. Guests can join the fun onstage or enjoy the laughs from their seats. We focus on treating volunteers with respect and matching the humor to your audience. From clean school and family programs to adult comedy nights, we agree on the tone and boundaries with you before the event.
We welcome inquiries for:
• Corporate events, employee appreciation and awards nights
• Schools, colleges, after-prom celebrations and graduation events
• Fundraisers, charity dinners and community benefits
• Fairs, festivals and community celebrations
• Weddings, birthdays, reunions and private parties
• Comedy clubs, bars and ticketed entertainment nights
• Expos, trade shows and association gatherings
• Trucking, transportation, logistics and warehouse events
Need someone to help keep the whole event moving? Justin can serve as your emcee for welcomes, introductions, awards and transitions, with music available to support the occasion. Book hosting on its own or combine it with comedy hypnosis.
Transportation is also an industry we know firsthand. As working team truck drivers and owner-operators, we bring familiar humor to industry gatherings, with optional workshops covering owner-operator business topics and trainer development.
You work directly with Justin and Christy. Justin is the GPS onstage; Christy is Mission Control behind the scenes. We’ll talk through your audience, schedule and priorities so the entertainment fits your plans.

We need a clear, level performance area with room for volunteers and their chairs, suitable lighting and a clear view for the audience. We bring portable sound equipment and microphones, and we’ll confirm what suits your venue and guest count. Chair arrangements, power and setup details are agreed before booking. For outdoor events, we’ll also discuss weather protection and a backup plan. We’re happy to coordinate with your venue.
Please share the venue name and address, expected guest count, whether the event is indoors or outdoors, and your planned schedule. It helps to know about the performance space, available sound equipment, loading access, parking, stairs and setup time. Please mention any sound restrictions. A room photo or floor plan is useful if available—we can work through the details together.
Yes, we provide our own portable sound system and microphones, with basic lighting available when needed. We’ll review your venue, audience size and layout to confirm the setup. For larger events, we can coordinate with your venue or production team about any additional sound or lighting required. Equipment arrangements and what’s included are confirmed before booking.
For comedy hypnosis, we need a clear, level area with enough room for volunteer chairs, comfortable spacing and safe movement during the show. Guests should have a clear view of the performance. The space needed depends on the number of volunteers and the planned program. Send us your available dimensions or a room photo, and we’ll confirm suitability before booking. Emcee-only bookings generally require less space.
A highlight for us was Kingman’s First Friday, a community event drawing approximately 6,000 people. We combined fundraising for Friends of Mohave County Animal Shelter with master of ceremonies duties. Justin brought humor, engaged the crowd and encouraged donations, while Christy handled raffle tickets and welcomed visitors. Bringing people together, sharing laughs and helping shelter animals made it a night that meant a lot to both of us.
Another highlight was Justin serving as emcee with Mohave Comedy at the Puttholes charity golf event at Lake Havasu Golf Club. A golf course gives you plenty to work with—especially when the golfers supply some of the comedy themselves!
We have a soft spot for fundraisers, especially animal welfare causes. Bringing people together for laughs while supporting something worthwhile means a lot to us.
We’re also excited by company celebrations, school events, private parties and industry gatherings. Our favorite ingredient is a crowd ready to enjoy themselves, whether they volunteer onstage or cheer on their friends. Give us an occasion that matters to your people, and we’ll help make it personal.
We started High Gear because we wanted to connect with people. Justin has always been the one to crack a joke and get people laughing. He chose comedy hypnosis to bring out the best in willing volunteers and give their friends and families moments they’ll always remember. We tailor each show to the client and audience, keeping it fun while treating everyone with dignity and respect.
Justin’s background includes DJ work, touring-production logistics, load-ins and load-outs, coordinating with production supervisors, and helping with sound and lighting. He trained in comedy hypnosis with Kevin Lepine in Las Vegas, focusing on hypnosis, show development and volunteer care.
Justin leads the entertainment while Christy coordinates the details. Our event experience includes fundraising and emcee duties at Kingman’s First Friday and Justin’s emcee work with Mohave Comedy at the Puttholes charity golf event in Lake Havasu City.

A typical comedy hypnosis show runs 60–90 minutes, with the length agreed around your event schedule. Emcee hosting and music coverage can be arranged separately or combined with the show. We coordinate arrival and setup with your venue, allowing time to check sound, arrange the performance area and be ready before the entertainment begins. All timings are confirmed before booking.
Yes, we’re happy to discuss outdoor events. We’ll check that the space suits your chosen entertainment, with level ground, suitable weather protection and agreed sound and power arrangements.

We’ve been told we’re great with people and deliver a high energy show that keeps everyone laughing from the moment Justin turns on the microphone. We enjoy getting guests engaged, noticing the unexpected moments happening around us and building on them with spontaneous, creative humor.
