In this brand-new show, everything you think you know will be challenged. What do we believe, why do we believe it, and what does it take to change a mind? In a world where reality is shaped at the touch of a button, truth feels flexible and trust feels dangerous. Blending jaw-dropping mentalism with razor sharp comedy, Cloud dismantles assumptions, bends reality and makes the impossible uncomfortably personal. Hoax is designed to blow your mind, shake you to your core and linger long after the lights fade. You will not leave the same person inside.
