If there’s one thing everyone could use more of these days, it’s a good hearty laugh. Luckily, Las Vegas doesn’t joke around when it comes to its comedy scene. The city is home to several places that regularly feature some of the funniest acts in the business — especially on the Strip, where there’s never a shortage of laughter to be found.
“Everybody Loves Raymond” star Brad Garrett often performs inside his namesake comedy club (Pictured above)
One of the Strip’s top comedy clubs recently moved into a beautiful new space. Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club relocated within MGM Grand last November, and can now be found in The District near MGM Grand Garden Arena. Like the club’s original 250-seat location in The Underground, the newly redesigned club features fantastic artwork of iconic comedians on the walls, like Steve Martin and George Carlin, as well as a few pieces that pay tribute to “Everybody Loves Raymond.” The intimate 210-seat venue even has an old-school Las Vegas lounge adjacent to it that features live music by talented jazz musicians several nights a week. Audiences can see three hilarious comedians performing at the club each night, with Garrett typically hosting at least one performance every month. Consider yourself forewarned: if you sit in the first two rows when Garrett’s in town, you’ll likely become a part of his uninhibited act! bradgarrettcomedy.com Continued on page 28 Fans can catch Sebastian Maniscalco’s Nobody Does This Tour at 7 and 10 p.m. each night the comedian performs at Wynn Las Vegas
