Save big on Vegas' best shows
Forget bare stages and brick walls. Las Vegas comedy shows are full-on productions with lighting cues, live music, immersive set pieces, and the kind of over-the-top staging you only find here. It’s stand-up with sequins, variety with volume, and punchlines backed by pyrotechnics.
Las Vegas isn’t just about slot machines and Cirque du Soleil, it’s also one of the best places on earth to laugh until your cheeks hurt. Vegas comedy shows cover everything from world-famous headliners to quirky variety acts, so whether you’re into ventriloquism, prop gags, or sharp stand-up, the Strip delivers. Here’s a roundup of the funniest shows lighting up Las Vegas right now.
📍 The STRAT Theater
What do you get when you combine a ventriloquist, an impressionist, and a stand-up comic? Terry Fator. His puppets channel everyone from Elvis to Adele, while his original characters deliver punchlines and charm in equal measure. It’s clever, clean, and consistently funny, making it a top pick for families.
Book your ticketsIf satire, sequins, and zombies had a love child, this would be it. Zombie Burlesque is an adults-only parody show filled with live singing, camp humor, and jaw-dropping choreography. It’s risqué, rowdy, and ridiculous, exactly what you’d expect from a comedy show in Las Vegas.
Book your ticketsA Vegas legend. With a trunk of outrageous props and a fearless stage presence, Carrot Top skewers pop culture, politics, and everyday life in a way only he can. The humor is loud, wild, and unapologetic, so is the hair.
📍 MGM Grand
Step into MGM Grand and you’ll find one of the Strip’s most respected comedy clubs. Founded by Emmy-winning actor Brad Garrett, this spot brings top-notch comics night after night. The lineups rotate constantly, so repeat visits mean new laughs every time.
📍 MGM Grand
Sometimes the loudest laughs come without words. Tape Face turns mime, props, and absurd situations into side-splitting comedy. The silence makes every gag bigger, every reaction funnier, and every audience volunteer slightly more nervous.
Located on the LINQ Promenade, this modern club balances star power with fresh talent. One night you might catch a Netflix-famous comic; the next, a breakthrough act you’ll be bragging about having seen “before they blew up.”
Vegas may be famous for big-ticket residencies, but the comedy clubs in Las Vegas are where the real magic (and mischief) happens. Intimate rooms, surprise drop-ins, rotating lineups, these venues keep the Strip buzzing long after the headliner shows wrap. Whether you’re after sharp stand-up, off-the-cuff improv, or that “I saw them before they blew up” brag, these clubs guarantee late-night laughs you’ll be quoting on the flight home.
Terry Fator, Zombie Burlesque, Carrot Top, Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, Tape Face, and Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club are top picks. Check nightly schedules for rotating headliners.
Some of the shows, like Terry Fator, are great for families. Most stand-up clubs skew adult with strong language. Zombie Burlesque is adults-only (the title isn’t lying).
Carrot Top, Tape Face and Zombie Burlesque are good for first-time visitors.
Most shows run 75–90 minutes. Clubs often feature 2–3 comics per set.
Generally, casual to smart casual is recommended. Save tuxes for your Elvis vow renewal.
Clubs almost always ban video. Non-flash photos may be allowed pre-show; check venue rules beforehand.
For comedy clubs, the best seats are close to the stage for energy, though the second or third row is safer if you’d rather avoid crowd work. In larger theaters, front-center or mid-orchestra seats offer the best sightlines and let you catch every expression.
Yes, very often. Crowd work in clubs is common; variety acts (Tape Face, Terry Fator) also bring volunteers on stage.
Yes, beyond the Strip’s polished stages, several smaller venues host open mic comedy nights where local comics try out new material. LA Comedy Club and Downtown bars often run these. It’s raw, unpredictable, and sometimes hilarious in ways no headliner can plan.
Depends on the act. Visual comics like Tape Face are universally funny. Prop and variety acts (Carrot Top, Zombie Burlesque) are easier to follow. Traditional stand-up can be fast-paced, slang-heavy, and full of wordplay, still enjoyable, but might require sharper listening.
Absolutely. Clubs commonly run 9:30pm and 11pm sets; weekends can go till later in the night.
Yes. Paid parking is available at most casinos. Venues are accessible by monorail, bus, taxi, and rideshare services.
