Award-Winning Comedian Don Barnhart Returns To LA To Perform At Ice House Comedy Club's Historic 50th Anniversary Comedy DVD Taping On Aug, 26th, 2010

LAS VEGAS, NV, August 20, 2010

Barnhart, who continues to perform his stand-up show in Las Vegas 8-10 weeks a year was just given the International Performing Artists "Bob Hope - Humanitarian Award" for his tireless dedication producing and performing comedy show for the troop stationed around the world. He was also nominated for the Las Vegas Review-Journal's 2010 "Best Comedian" award and was certified as a hypnotist by the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. HMI has earned the distinction of being America's first hypnotherapy training institution to become nationally accredited.

Barnhart had already established himself as one of the top comedians working today. Audiences say Don reminds them of a young George Carlin with the physical characterizations of Jim Carey making him funny on so many different levels. He is an accomplished actor, certified hypnotist, published author and filmmaker with numerous television and film credits and is still a favorite headliner at the top comedy clubs and cruise ships.

Don combines well written, topical material and delivers it with a fast paced, high energy and animated improvisational flair that keeps audiences of all ages howling with laughter and coming back for more.

Barnhart is one of the only headlining comedians who also perform a comedy hypnosis show. Don can be booked either as a comedy headliner, comedy hypnotist or combination of both shows for your venue.
