& Friends<br />

big mike and<br />

Marsha Starr<br />

I was asked by my wonderful friend Rev.Jerry Troyer if I would MC a launch<br />

party for his new book “Coming Out to Ourselves” held at the LGBT Center.<br />

It was this event that I met the beautiful, fun and sweet women by the name<br />

of Marsha Starr. We hit it off the moment we met ( I loved everything about<br />

her) especially her kindness and personality. So it’s no wonder we became such fast friends.<br />

It was Marsha’s Dad who brought his family to San Diego from Chicago,<br />

in those days her Dad Bill Starr played baseball for the San Diego Padres<br />

(when it was apart of the Pacific Coast League). Loving the climate and<br />

then small town atmosphere, they decide to stay. Bill Starr eventually<br />

became the Padres owner in the 50’s.<br />

Growing up and loving her home town helped introduced her to a Naval<br />

Officer stationed right here in San Diego which she married after completing<br />

her final bit of education at SDSU as a psychology major. After raising her<br />

family, a daughter and two sons, Marsha wanted something fun to do. As<br />

a lark she signed up for her first hypnosis class and for something that she<br />

thought would just be a hoot to try, led her to taking numerous courses<br />

in Comedy Stage Hypnosis at the Marc Savard International School of<br />

Hypnosis. Marc Savard is a Planet Hollywood headliner in Las Vegas, were<br />

he has performed nightly for the past 20 years.<br />

Marsha will tell you as invaluable as the technical training is, absolutely<br />

nothing replaces the actual getting on stage and doing it. As a Comedy<br />

Hypnosis now for more years than she can count and an average 120<br />

shows a year, there are no two shows alike. Even if she uses the identical<br />

material it’s the performers interpretation of each show that makes it unique,<br />

thought the one commonality is that all the shows are HILARIOUS!<br />

Marsha Star or better known as “The Hypno Diva” has been enthralling and<br />

mesmerizing audiences of all ages all over California to as far as New York<br />

City where she was featured on BROADWAY. She has been introduced to<br />

viewers on FOX5, and has also performed at THE COMDEY STORE as well.<br />

As one of the only 5 full time professional female comedy hypnotist in the<br />

world, Marsha magically captivates and regales her audiences as she<br />

escorts the volunteer performers into believing they are famous celebrities,<br />

trailer park princess, opera singers, someone who has just won the lottery,<br />

that their favorite body part has been stolen, or are aliens visiting earth who<br />

only speaks Martian, and the list goes on and on.<br />

The Hypno Diva brings her expertise to the stage in a show that defined<br />

as a fast-paced, action-packed roller coaster ride of laugh a minute hilarity.<br />

Marsha ignites a frenzy of hypnotic comedy mayhem as the performers<br />

toss their inhibitions out the window. You can see the show or better yet BE the show!<br />

Besides performing for paid audiences she has been a huge supporter<br />

of giving back to countless charity organizations with her show. A huge<br />

believer in giving back to those who need help, it’s not a surprising to learn<br />

Marsha gladly has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars with her stage<br />

shows, the list is to long to try to name everyone of them. The exciting<br />

news is Marsha along with her son Josha Blue who is also a comedy<br />

hypnotist from Hawaii will be performing together as the only mother and<br />

son comedy hypnotists in the world,which makes them unique. This show<br />

will help raise money for the Imperial Court and the San Diego LGBT<br />

Center, on August 4, <strong>2013</strong> starting at 6 pm sharp. Hosted by Empress<br />

Candi Samples and your truly at the San Diego LGBT Center located @<br />

3909 Centre Street, San Diego, CA. 92103 . So I hope you will save the<br />

date and join us for an evening of fun and laugher as we raise money to<br />

help these two organizations.<br />
