Comedian Don Barnhart to Get Down and Dirty at The D in Las Vegas

Beginning Sept 8th, award-winning comedian Don Barnhart begins a residency at Jokesters Comedy Club at The D Casino Hotel in Las Vegas.

Jokester Comedy Club brings the ultimate comedy party to the D Casino Hotel in downtown Las Vegas featuring award-winning comedian and best-selling author Don Barnhart.

"Down and dirty is the theme but that doesn't necessarily mean nasty. What it means is no holds barred and we're bringing the funny!" said Barnhart in a recent interview. "When I hosted The Freedom of Speech Comedy Show, people thought that the title meant the show would be 'F this' and "F that' but what it meant was, we didn't hold back, we let loose and brought the funny with no political correctness, gimmicks or corporate overlord micro-managing what we could or could not say. The first rule was that it had to be funny!"

Jokesters Comedy Club at the D starts with a pre-show party at 10:00pm with crazy drink specials, comedy trivia and prizes with the comedy show kicking in at 10:30. The D is known for a fresh, energetic attitude and fun atmosphere synonymous with Downtown Las Vegas. The newly renovated property features a high-energy gaming experience and 638 remodeled contemporary rooms and suites. The unique two-level casino boasts the latest in slots and table games manned by the D's playful dancing dealers on the first floor, and transports guests back in time to old-school Vegas with its Vintage Casino on the second floor. Voted "Best Video Poker" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the D is the best place to stay and play. On Fremont Street Experience, D Bar features Vegas' hottest dancing servers and talented flair bartenders.

While Barnhart will still honor his current dates on the books, when he's home he'll be performing nightly doing what critics say is, "a comedy thrill ride of well-written, topical material exploring modern day society in a way that is hysterical, highly entertaining, intelligent and thought provoking. The Las Vegas Review Journal recently called Barnhart's show one of their "Best Bets".

Barnhart currently stars in the new sitcom and web series Class Clowns. The show, created by Don follows the miss-adventures of fictional comedian and former sitcom star Johnny B who pulls a "Kramer" takes a "Chappell" and comes back to star in his own "Seinfeld" type of web series and reality show.

The show, written by Barnhart and comedIan Keith Lyle who is most known for his snarky card dealer role in The Hangover, takes place in Las Vegas. Lyle has also toured with Barnhart on the Battle Comics World Tours for the troops and Armed Forces Entertainment and will serve as one of Jokesters house emcees.

Class Clowns also stars fellow Vegas comedians Derek Richards, Brent Mukai and Linda Vu all who can be seen performing at Jokesters. Richards also went overseas with Barnhart and the two will trade off headline dates filling in for one another when they are out on tour and perform together when they are both in town.

Featuring for Barnhart is comedian Linda Vu who just completed her third Battle Comics tour for the troops. Linda's unique perspective as an Asian American who immigrated to the United States is hysterically insightful and downright funny. Linda is also an actress and stars in the indie film China Dolls.

For years, Barnhart has made a living headlining the top Comedy Clubs, cruise ships, corporate events, shows for the military and venues in Las Vegas and Don has notoriously performed clean and now he's letting loose and pulling no punches. He added, "I've always felt that dirty comics aren't always funny but funny comics can be dirty."

Don will perform nightly at 10:30pm beginning Sept 8th at Jokesters Comedy Club inside the D Las Vegas Casino Hotel. Be sure to check out the website for more information, dinner specials and more.
