Don Barnhart is the only Las Vegas headliner that has both a stand-up and hypnosis show. His Comedy Hypnosis Show at Treasure Island is the only comedy show in Vegas with a full dinner menu and Barnhart is the only family friendly hypnosis act on the Vegas Strip. Barnhart’s comedy hypnosis show combines his stand-up, improv and hypnosis skills to tap into the power of the subconscious mind and take his volunteer’s hidden talents and turn them into stars. Named “Best Bet” in Vegas, Barnhart headlines cruise ships, colleges, high schools, fairs and recovery shows. Don was one of the featured headliners at the 2014 Laughlin Comedy Festival alongside Larry The Cable Guy, Dana Carvey and Maryellen Hooper. Since his first USO tour back in 1992, Barnhart has been performing and producing comedy shows for troops around the world, bringing both celebrities and the next generation of comedy superstars to those serving in the armed forces.

Don is also the author of the Amazon best selling book Finding Your Funny, which explores the art and business of stand-up comedy. His latest book, Rock Bottom, has received great reviews and is being turned into a feature film. Barnhart’s stand-up show consists of well-written topical material and is delivered with an animated flair that keeps audiences of all ages howling with laughter and coming back for more. Audiences say that Barnhart has the wit of George Carlin with the delivery of Jim Carrey, making him funny on so many levels. In his off-time, Don is one of the most sought after comedy coaches in the industry, teaching stand-up and improv at his Vegas-based studio, The Las Vegas Comedy Institute. Besides being a regular headliner on the Vegas Strip, Barnhart is a favorite performer for many of the top corporate events around the world, including The World President’s Organization, AFLAC, AA/NA, DARE and many more. He has been seen on almost every major comedy show and was hand-picked for The Ice House 50th Anniversary All Star Comedy Review.
