Comedian Don Barnhart Set To Film Dry Bar Comedy Special

With over 4 million followers, Dry Bar Comedy is advertised as "Always clever. Always clean." And Vegas based comedian Don Barnhart joins the team and is scheduled to film his comedy special Feb 22nd, 2019.

Since they debuted, the Dry Bar Comedy Specials have generated more than a billion views on social media. Neal Harmon, VidAngel's CEO added in on the importance of clean comedy. "There was clearly a demand in the marketplace for comedy, but there was no one creating the home for family-friendly comedy."

"I was thrilled to be selected for this season's tapings," said Don Barnhart in a recent interview. "I've always said dirty jokes are like Jalapenos. Most people can deal with one or two but nobody likes a Jalapeno milkshake." When he's not on tour, Barnhart currently stars in his own nightly show in Las Vegas at Jokesters COMEDY CLUB inside The D Casino Hotel on Fremont Street.

Don Barnhart first started performing as the house emcee at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA opening for and learning from comedy legends including Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Garry Shandling and many more who all emphasized the importance of working 'TV Clean'. "If you're clean, you can work anywhere and you can always 'spice' up a joke but it's hard to go the other way", added Barnhart who continues to headline for the top cruise lines and CORPORATE events when he's not onstage at his residency inside Jokesters COMEDY CLUB in Las Vegas.

Barnhart is also a published author and filmmaker whose new book, Rock Bottomis getting rave reviews as a great, inspirational family friendly comedy and is currently being developed into a feature film. Barnhart's new book Rock Bottom is inspired from Don's numerous tours entertaining the troops and is the story of a returning veteran who loses everything and in an effort to regain his life, he becomes the Robin Hood of the homeless finding out that pain plus time equals funny and eventually finds his way back with humor.

Reverend Russ Smethers recently reviewed Rock Bottom, "OMG!! This book had me crying, laughing and rooting for the main character, as well as others in the story. It's a love story. A story of determination. A story of despair. This is a must read on so many different levels. READ IT, READ IT, READ IT!!! You won't be sorry."

Barnhart added, "VidAngel's mission is to make entertainment good for youand that's what I'm going for", said Barnhart. "Don's ability to keep audiences of all ages howling with laughter and coming back for more is what separates him from the average joke teller. His standup comedy is a thrill ride of well-written, topical material exploring modern day society in a way that is hysterical, intelligent and thought provoking".

Besides all of this, Barnhart has been producing comedy shows and entertaining the troops around the world since 1992 and stars in the new documentary I AM BATTLE COMIC by filmmaker Jordan Brady. In his off time Barnhart teaches stand up, improv and comedy writing at The Las Vegas Comedy Institute.
