Hypnotist-Comedian Boris Cherniak Wants to Play the Flute for You

Hypnotist-Comedian is Boris Cherniak’s day job. During work hours (anywhere from 8 PM to 4 AM, depending on the venue and city), he’s “the Incredible Boris." One reviewer described his act as “orchestrated chaos.”  Boris has taken his act far and wide - clubs, theaters, colleges and convention centers across the US and his native North America - he is Canadian by way of Russia - on cruise ships and overseas to Afghanistan and Kuwait to entertain the troops. The Incredible Boris joins us to demonstrate his far less celebrated talent: he was a flute prodigy, but has barely picked it up in over 40 years. We are delighted and honored that he’s chosen the Talent Show as the venue to unveil a talent that’s not just been hidden, but that has lain dormant for over four decades!    It’s also interesting to hear Boris talk about the day to day business grind of a working comedian, and how music has long been a refuge from and inspiration for his work.
