Don Barnhart

Award-Winning Comedian Don Barnhart stars in his own nightly show at Jokesters Comedy Club inside The D Casino Hotel on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, NV.

Join Barnhart and friends nightly at 10:30pm. “Barnhart is a refreshing voice in the standup genre as he mixes a blend of hysterically funny and topical insights about our life and the world around us, pushing the boundaries of the PC culture without being overtly offensive with well-written material and an improvisational flair."

Barnhart is also the director/producer on Jokesters TV - The Late Night Comedy Show available nationally in over 23 million households and seen on The Action Channel, CW Las Vegas, Amazon Prime and YouTube.

Don’s show is “The late-night comedy show you don’t want to miss while in Las Vegas as Barnhart lets loose, lambasting the ridiculousness of the world around us all.”

For years, Barnhart has split his time touring the country headlining at the top comedy clubs, overseas entertaining the troops, doing colleges and cruise ships. “Having a residency in Las Vegas has allowed me the freedom to really let loose and not hold back”, added Barnhart who predominantly works clean but isn’t afraid to push the boundaries. “The main thing is that it’s got to be funny!”

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.

Don's newest book, Rock Bottom is the story of Returning Veteran Guy Derek who comes home from the war only to find out his wife has left him, his house is foreclosed and ends up homeless. Using his wit and humor, Guy finds his way back becoming the Robin Hood of the disenfranchised. The book is getting great reviews and is being turned into a feature film.

Since 1992, Don has been producing and performing comedy shows for the troops and is one of the stars of Jordan Brady's documentary I Am Battle Comic exploring the importance of entertaining the troops around the world. Barnhart also stars in Finding The Funny with Brad Garret and Louie Anderson and plays a rather disgruntled, road weary and carefree comedian in the upcoming comedy film, Tribute To Fluffy. Don can also be seen playing a psychotic mad man in the new web series Max Justice.

Barnhart has been seen on MTV, Star Search, and Evening At The Improv and has been featured on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC. Barnhart is a Bob and Tom Show favorite and his comedy CD, I’m Not Just Eye Candy can be heard frequently on the comedy channels on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio. In 2015, Don was the grand prize winner in the Levity Entertainment/Improv Comedy Contest and was the Grand Prize winner in the 2008 American Idol Underground Comedy Contest.

Don Barnhart is also a certified hypnotist and has an entirely different comedy hypnosis show.
