I saw Paul McKenna about 10 years ago, and enjoyed it so much I went back for more that same week, writes Nicky Bickerstaff.

Since then he has developed his act and moved on to become a slick, groomed entertainer.

At the Ashcroft Theatre on Wednesday, November 21, the show's format had not changed much. People are selected from the audience to participate in the performance and we meet them again after the interval. I remain sceptical about the hypnotic powers of Mr McKenna, but he certainly gives great entertainment value.

The man with the scarves around his neck was brilliant. He kept returning to the stage to get something he had forgotten', it went on and on and was hilarious. He must have collected eight or none scarves.

The Full Monty episode ended with the fit looking victim' getting ready to strip off his jeans. We enjoyed the night, but wouldn't rush back again this time.
