Yes, It's Real (Hence the name of the tour) The volunteers from the audience are not selected in advance and are actually under hypnosis.

The volunteers are random members of the audience who decide on their own to volunteer for the show.
Purchase a ticket to the show and when volunteers are called, approach the stage and sit in an available chair.
Because all participants volunteer and there needs to be some randomness to the process, we can’t guarantee that any given person will be able to participate on stage. For a better chance at making it on stage, we suggest sitting as close to the front and aisles as possible.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and be in good physical and mental condition. Volunteers should feel comfortable moving around the stage quickly, sitting, and standing. It’s best to wear comfortable clothing and avoid very high heels as there is a small physical component required from the hypnotized subjects.
Nobody is called on stage against their will, anyone interested in volunteers must get up from their chair and walk up to the stage.
The show begins when all 20 volunteers are seated on stage. The hypnotist then whittles it down to the most susceptible to form the improv troupe.
The induction lasts for approximately 5-7 minutes followed by a series of calibration experiments.
If you are selected to be the final improv troop, you will be on stage for the entire show. Approximately 75 minutes.
