Glorious and inspiring (Time Out New York), fun and heartfelt (The New Yorker), ONCE is the story of a guy who gave up on love and music, and the girl who inspired him to dream again. On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by emotionally charged music. From the very first note, ONCE draws you in and never lets go. This emotionally captivating musical is the only show to have won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Olivier Award and a Tony Award.

Don Barnhart
Resident Headliner
From headlining the top comedy clubs on the Las Vegas Strip and across the country to starring in his own nightly residency in Las Vegas, there is no slowing down for comedian Don Barnhart as he continues to set the watermark higher
Don Barnhart’s comedy goes from family friendly to no holds barred without missing a beat. His comedy has been labeled smart, witty, and intellectual to downright silly. Don is one of the most physical comics who doesn’t move around, and his facial expressions can tell you more than the words convey in any story. Don Barnhart has both a family friendly Dry Bar Comedy Special and an unapologetically funny Amazon Prime Special that doesn’t hold back.
The Las Vegas based comedian performs as the resident headliner at Delirious Comedy Club on Fremont Street which is the only full-time comedy club in Downtown Las Vegas. The shows stars Barnhart along with a rotating cast of special guests and the funniest local talent. Celebrities like comedy legend George Wallace have been known to drop in when in town and Delirious Comedy Club has produced special events with Pauly Shore, Jamie Kennedy and Kid from Kid ‘n Play.
Prior to his own residency, Don Barnhart was a Las Vegas regular performing at Brad Garret’s Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory, The Improv, Jokesters and more as well as headlining the club circuit and entertaining the troops around the world. Barnhart has written several books, produced, and directed TV and film projects and is an executive producer and appears in the new Matt Rife Film, “Don’t Suck”.
