Don Barnhart & Friends
Don Barnhart & Friends
"From entertaining the troops around the world to headlining the top comedy club across the country, Don Barnhart is hysterically funny, delivering his well-written topical material with an animated and improvisational flair that's not to be missed. He is a refreshing voice in the standup genre, mixing a blend of sharp, topical insights about our life and the world around us, pushing the boundaries of PC culture without being overtly offensive. Barnhart has often been compared to the sharp, witty insights of George Carlin with the animated expressions of Jim Carey."
Barnhart's Family Friendly Dry Bar Comedy Special The Obese Police" is blowing up the internet and going viral. "If you enjoy quick witted comedy and hilarious scenarios then you're going to love this Special from Don Barnhart," said the producer of Dry Bar Comedy. Although when Barnhart hits the stage, he doesn't hold back and takes the audience to a whole new level.
Barnhart stated, "At our comedy club, we allow our comedians the freedom to use their gift of humor to shine light on subjects that might be too sensitive for the easily offended. It's not about being dirty, but about taking on subjects we need and should be talking about. All are welcome but remember, this is a Comedy Club so leave your inhibitions at the door, stop taking life so seriously and let's enjoy some laughter at the absurdity of life."
"If you're easily offended or have an agenda, you're really missing the point of going to a comedy club and should probably stay at home", says comedian Don Barnhart about his Las Vegas Residency.
For years, Barnhart has split his time touring the country headlining at the top comedy clubs, overseas entertaining the troops, performing for colleges and cruise ships. "Having a residency in Las Vegas has allowed me the freedom to really let loose and not hold back. It's times like these that we need the healing power and humor of comedy", said Barnhart in a recent interview.
Barnhart is the author of the Amazon Best Seller, Finding Your Funny exploring the art, science and business of standup comedy. 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.
