Don Barnhart's Las Vegas Comedy Classes begin a new six-week session starting Dec 21st. Jumpstart your comedy career or take it to the next level. Barnhart's classes are interactive where each week; students are on their feet in front of the mic working out their material.

Whether you're a working comedian or just wanting to learn to use humor to punch up your presentations, Barnhart is one of the most sought out comedy coaches in the industry.

What sets Don Barnhart apart from any other instructors is that Don is one of the top headline comedians working today. Don Barnhart Entertainment is also the premier booking agency for comedy shows around the world.

Award-Winning Comedian Don Barnhart is currently in preproduction on the new comedy film, The Freeloader, which he wrote and stars in. The movie is set to begin shooting in Las Vegas in 2015 and is based on Barnhart's 3rd book of the same name.

Over the last year, Barnhart's film career has really been gaining steam as he stars in the documentary, Finding The Funny with Brad Garret and Louie Anderson directed by comedian John Bizarre and plays a rather disgruntled, road weary and carefree comedian in the upcoming comedy film, Tribute To Fluffy.

The Las Vegas Review/Journal recently named Don Barnhart's comedy show one of their "Best Bets" and he just finished headlining the 2014 Laughlin Comedy Festival alongside Larry The Cable Guy, Dana Carvey and Maryellen Hooper.

Since his first USO tour back in 1992, Barnhart has been performing and producing comedy shows for the troops around the world bringing both celebrities and the next generation of comedy superstars to the men and women serving in the armed forces. Barnhart's recent tours for the troops include comedy legend, George Wallace and American Idol Finalist James Durbin.

Don is also the author of Comedy 101, Creating The Life You Desire and is a contributing author on I Killed. He is a graduate of The Second City Conservatory in Los Angeles and is a certified hypnotist performing both a stand up and comedy hypnosis show.

Barnhart also serves as one of the top comedy club consultants in the country and is currently involved with the opening and booking of several new comedy clubs throughout the United States as well as booking and producing shows for the military, special events and comedy concerts. Over the last 25 years, Barnhart has consulted on the opening, operations and marketing of numerous comedy clubs, cruise ships, concerts and comedy shows for the military.

Don can help jump-start your comedy career helping you find and develop your comedy character - the part of you that is uniquely funny. Don Barnhart's Stand Up Comedy Class doesn't promise to make you the next Seinfeld but he can help you become a much better stand up comedian or just become a funnier person in real life!

By teaching you the fundamental skills, principles, and techniques used by himself and other top-working comedians Don's approach can cut years off your development as a stand-up comedian and comedy performer. " My goal is to help you find the funny within and bring that to the stage", added Barnhart. "If you're not getting paid, it's just a hobby!"

If you're already performing comedy, Don's experience will help you to fine tune your act and get you to the next level. Are you getting all the work you want? Don Barnhart's Comedy Classes can help you find the weak spots and tune your act to help you take your career to the next level.
