Vegas Comedian Don Barnhart Offers Free Show To Stranded Travelers

As the East Coast shuts down and travelers get stranded, Las Vegas based comedian Don Barnhart and Jokesters Comedy Club will offer free admission to those stranded in Las Vegas over the weekend.

"With so many flights being cancelled, we thought what better way to pass the time than with humor", said Barnhart from a phone interview. "We've had packed houses all week for the grand opening and we wanted to give something back. This is one of the busiest conventions seasons in Vegas and many people that are getting their flights cancelled and having to scramble to get hotel rooms, dinner and show reservations so we thought, lets do something nice."

Barnhart, an award-winning comedian and best-selling author has been headlining opening weekend at the newest comedy club on the Vegas strip. Named "Best Bet" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Don Barnhart's stand up comedy takes audiences on a comedy thrill ride of well-written, topical material exploring the waning tide of male gender identification and man's declining role in modern day society in a way that is hysterical, highly entertaining and thought provoking. Don's DeEvolution of Man video has close to 1 million hits on YouTube.

Don's new book, Finding Your Funny just hit the Best Seller List on Amazon. With a humorous and heartfelt forward by Comedy Legend George Wallace, Finding Your Funny goes beyond Barnhart's own 25-year journey and shares the brutal, often overlooked experience and advice of other comedians, entertainers, managers, agents and bookers. The book includes a no holds barred assessment about what clubs, venues and agents are actually looking for as well as many of the things you need to do and avoid if you're looking into making comedy a career.

You may not know Don Barnhart by name but you should as he performs over 300 day a year on the road and much of that has been dedicated to entertaining our troops around the world. Don will be heading back to Afghanistan for another series of military shows later this year with his Battle Comics - Laughter For The Troops world tour.

Those interested in seeing Don's show for free Saturday and Sunday night Jan 23/24th can go directly to the entrance of the club with the code word: "Stranded"

Showtime is 9:30pm. Guests must arrive by 9PM and admittance is on a first come/first served basis.

Jokesters Comedy Club is located at The Windows Showroom at Bally's Hotel & Casino.
